Abstract :
Recent developments in RF receiver design have eliminated all on-chip inductors except for that used in the local oscillator. This paper addresses this "last inductor" problem and proposes an integer-N synthesizer architecture that achieves a phase noise and a figure of merit (FOM) comparable to those of LC-VCO-based realizations.
