ADPLL Design for WiMAX

The frequency synthesizer, which functions as a local oscillator, is a critical block in the transceiver. It needs to meet very stringent specifications and consume as less power as possible. Design of a traditional charge-pump PLL as the frequency synthesizer in the advanced CMOS technologies in the transceiver of advanced communication systems...

Time-to-Digital Converter (TDC) for WiMAX ADPLL in State-of-The-Art 40-nm CMOS

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is the emerging wireless technology standard of the near future, which enables high speed packet data access. To anticipate the future demands on WiMAX technology, we proposed an ADPLL (all-digital phase locked loop) solution for the WiMAX system. The developed ADPLL system has targeted...
