Abstract :
In this paper, an optimization method using "experience plan" is applied to optimize a fractional-N frequency synthesizer\´s performances for wireless systems. The "experience plan" is applied on a VHDLAMS description using seven parameters having in view to minimize the loop response time and the synthesizer output frequency.
