Abstract :
A completely integrated single-chip phase locked loop based on a 0.2 μm gate length enhancement/depletion AlGaAs-GaAs-AlGaAs-HEMT technology has been designed and characterized. The chip contains a VCO with 34 GHz center frequency, a dynamic frequency divider by two, a static divider by eight, a phase detector, and a loop filter. The chip size is 2.0×1.5 mm2. The power consumption is 1.2 W at a supply voltage of -5.0 V. The locking range is approximately ±700 MHz. The phase noise of locked PLL is -83 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and -102 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the carrier frequency, respectively
