This is Part 2 of a three-part series. As discussed in Part 1 and recapped here, modern wireless communications systems (mainly superheterodyne radio transceivers) are now required to deliver higher ...

RF synthesis is a critical function in today's electronic communications systems. Two of the technologies used for RF synthesis are phase locked loop (PLL) and direct digital synthesis (DDS). Each has ...

Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) are commonly used to perform a variety of clock processing tasks, such as clock frequency multiplication and clock deskewing. PLLs, like many other analog IP macros, come ...
