Abstract
Abstract. This paper presents a frequency domain analysis of spurious tones in
frequency dividers. The results of the analysis are used to develop an
event-driven model for system simulations which work entirely in the
frequency domain. The proposed approach is able to provide a fast and
accurate model in a SystemVerilog/C++ environment which takes the frequency
conversion effects of the spurious tones into account. A virtual prototype
which includes the model was simulated and due to the fast simulation speed
it was possible to determine the influence of spurious tones on the bit error
rate in a complex receive scenario.
