Abstract: A triple-mode fractional-N frequency synthesizer with a noise-filter voltage control oscillator (VCO) for WCDMA/Bluetooth/ZigBee applications has been implemented in 0.18 μm RF-CMOS technology. The proposed synthesizer achieves a good phase noise lower than -80 dBc/Hz in band and -115 dBc/Hz @ 1 MHz for the three modes, which only draws 21 mA from 1.8 V supply. It has a high hardware sharing and a small size which is only 1.5 mm × 1.4 mm. The system architecture, circuit design and measured results are presented in this paper.

Key words: multi-standard PLL frequency synthesizers VCO
