Abstract
FRACTIONAL-N frequency-synthesis techniques were once reserved only for hig h-performance test-signal generators, Recently, the synthesis approach has been employed in a number of integrated circuits (ICs) from various manufac turers, making it available for low-cost wireless system designs. The follo wing is an evaluation of several fractional-N frequency-synthesis approache s.
