Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing in-band spurs in a fractional-N synthesizer (100) includes generating a compensated current signal by a charge pump (108) coupled to a phase detector (106). The compensated current signal includes in-band spurs having frequencies within a frequency bandwidth associated with a loop filter (110). The method then includes selectively dithering the compensated current signal with a sufficient dither level to spread the frequencies of in-band spurs beyond the frequency bandwidth associated with the loop filter (110). The dithered compensated current signal is then passed through the loop filter (110) for filtering the in-band spurs having frequencies beyond the frequency bandwidth. The method then includes generating a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) signal with reduced in-band spurs proportional to the filtered compensated current signal.

Abstract: A transmitter is provided with a local oscillator (LO) processing unit to maintain stability in the transmitter's feedback loop. The LO processing unit includes at least one delay locked loop (DLL) and a programmable divider to generate phase shifted LO signals for adjusting a loop phase of the feedback loop in the transmitter. The generated phase shifted LO signals are of both a coarse and fine phase shifted nature. The adjustability and control of the coarse and fine phase shifting of the LO signals maintains linearity in the transmitter feedback loop.

Abstract: A plurality of varactors are coupled (102) via a first electrode to a shared terminal that in turn can operably couple (103) to a source of control voltage. A second electrode for each varactor couples (107) to a corresponding switch, where each switch couples to at least two different voltage levels. So configured, the second electrode of each varactor can be individually connected to either of two voltage levels. This can be leveraged to control, in coarse steps, the overall aggregate effective capacitance presented by these components. At least some of these varactors can have differing corresponding capacitances, the specific values of which can be selected in order to facilitate relatively equal spacing and substantially equal rates of reactance change versus the control voltage value between aggregate-capacitive reactance ranges as correspond to differing settings for the switches at various levels for the control voltage source.

Abstract: A phase-frequency detector (110) is provided. The phase-frequency detector can include a frequency counter delay (147) for counting cycles of an output signal to generate a divided variable frequency delayed signal (FVd 146) having a time shift. A control stage (200) coupled to the output stage generates a pump up control signal (222) and a pump down control signal (234) in response to receiving the FVd signal, a divided variable frequency signal (FV 136), and a reference frequency signal (FR 106). The time shift provides an overlap region that allows both source (350) and sink (360) currents to be provided in phase lock. In phase lock, the duration of the pump up control signal approximates the duration of the pump down control signal within a linear region of operation.
