This textbook by Robert Bogdan Staszewski addresses frequency synthesizer design and digital techniques for wireless transmitters. It focuses on frequency synthesis in deep submicron CMOS processes and combines an RF front end with digitally integrated back-end techniques.
Description
The book introduces an innovative design of an all-digital RF frequency synthesizer, where computationally intensive digital methods lead to cost-effective, energy-efficient, and integrated circuits for frequency synthesis and wireless transmission.
The content follows a step-by-step approach with attention to:
- Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) and time-domain models
- Algorithmic abstraction of the DCO
- Phase correction mechanisms to improve frequency stability
- Applications of the digital synthesizer
- Behavioral modeling and simulation methods
It concludes with the implementation of a complete transmitter and the measured results of devices such as Bluetooth and GSM, developed by Texas Instruments.
