Abstract

This paper presents the design of a sideband-suppressed synthesizer for dual-carrier MB-OFDM transceivers covering 11 frequency bands from 6.2GHz to 9.4GHz and 3 frequency bands from 4.2GHz to 4.8GHz, each with a bandwidth of 264MHz. Careful band plan is made to minimize the complexity. The synthesizer generates 14 carrier frequencies from a single frequency source. Improvements are made to the circuits to further suppress the sidebands. The synthesizer chip is designed with TSMC´s 0.13-μm RF CMOS technology. The circuit draws a current of 42mA from a 1.2V supply. It achieves a sideband rejection of 45dBc and a phase noise of -105dBc/Hz@1MHz.
