Abstract

This paper focuses on a new approach of the frequency synthesizer, which appears well adapted to the various communication standards. Multi-standard and multi-functionality are explained, and the complex frequency synthesizer (frequency generation unit) is entirely described. This entity provides local oscillators for different communication links. Through behavioral simulations, this paper details the functionality of this system and permits us to draw up the specifications for the main building blocks of the FGU.
