主 题:current mode logic (CML) prescaler quadrature local oscillator global positioning system radio-frequency front-end
摘 要:In this work,a novel prescaler based upon new current mode logic (CML) flip-flop architecture applied to global positioning system (GPS) receivers is *** to traditional static current mode logic (CML) flip-flop,it introduces a clock-controlling transistor to reduce the time constant at sensing *** a result,the speed has been maximized and the working range has been *** phase noise of local oscillator (LO) signals coming from the prescaler can be lowered by 6 dB,and the interference of voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) to radio-frequency (RF) front-end apartments (low noise amplifier,mixer,etc.) will be diminished so that the sensitivity of GPS receivers is *** prescaler s maximum input frequency rises up to 6.9 GHz,30% higher than that of traditional architecture,and its power is only 2.16 mW when the supply voltage is 1.8 *** prescaler was manufactured in 0.18-μm CMOS process,and it has been successfully applied to GPS receivers.
