This is Part 2 of a three-part series. As discussed in Part 1 and recapped here, modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher ...

This application note discusses phase frequency detector characteristics that affect phase-locked loop (PLL) dead band and jitter performance. In PLLs that employ charge pump loop filter designs the ...

RF synthesis is a critical function in today's electronic communications systems. Two of the technologies used for RF synthesis are phase locked loop (PLL) and direct digital synthesis (DDS). Each has ...
