Abstract: A new coarse tuning loop for a wide-band dual-loop frequency synthesizer is presented.The coarse tuning structure is composed of two digital modules, including a successive approximation register and a frequency comparator with a novel structure.The frequency comparator counts the prescaler cycles within a certain reference time and compares the number with preset data to estimate the VCO frequency.The frequency comparison error is analyzed in detail.Within a given coarse tuning time,our proposed structure shows a comparison error 20 times smaller than that of other reported structures.This structure also reuses the programmable divider as a part of the coarse tuning loop so that the circuit is greatly simplified.
