Abstract

A 3.6GHz phase modulator based on a digital fractional-N PLL and a 40MHz clock can arbitrarily change the carrier phase in the ±180-degree range with 19b resolution in one clock sample. The modulation error (EVM) is below -36dB both for a 20Mb/s QPSK and a 10Mb/s GMSK modulation. The power consumption is 5mW and the core area is 0.5mm2 in 65nm CMOS.
