Low power RF CMOS phase-shifting dual modulus (16/17) prescaler
Abstract
This report describes the research work I undertook for my M.S. degree requirements. The conventional and phase-shifting architectures are compared. Problems with the phase-shifting architecture are analyzed and a new modified architecture is proposed to eliminate the problems. The components of the proposed prescaler system are analyzed, their circuit design is outlined and their simulation results are presented. A new modified design is proposed for the divide-by-two circuit and its performance is analyzed. The overall system implementation is described at the transistor level and its simulation results are presented. A layout in 0.5u CMOS AMI technology is presented and the important layout considerations are discussed.
