Design of Programmable 14GHz Frequency Divider for RF PLL

This paper describes design of a programmable frequency synthesizer for RF PLL with silicon CMOS technology being used as an application of the UWB system like MBOA. To get good performance of speed and noise super dynamic circuits was used, and to get programmable division ratio switching circuits was used. Especially to solve narrow bandwidth problem of the dynamic circuits load resistance value of unit divider block was varied. Simulation results of the designed circuit shows very fast and wide operation characteristics as 1~14GHz frequency range.
