Ultra Low Phase Noise PLL Frequency Synthesizer for Ku Band

The book "Ultra Low Phase Noise PLL Frequency Synthesizer for Ku Band" offers a comprehensive analysis and innovative approaches to the development of phase-locked loops (PLLs) for the Ku-band frequency ranges of 12 to 18 GHz. In today's technology, designing an efficient, integrated PLL is crucial, especially for satellite communication systems that rely on precise frequency multiplication. This work highlights existing research gaps in the field of wideband PLLs and presents a novel design of a charge-pump-based integer-N PLL implemented in 0.18 µm CMOS technology. With a compact design and outstanding performance characteristics, including remarkable phase noise, the book provides valuable insights for professionals and researchers interested in the development of advanced frequency synthesizers.
