A 14-Band Low-Complexity and High-Performance Synthesizer Architecture for MB-OFDM Communication

摘要

This work presents a 14-band low-complexity and high-performance synthesizer architecture for multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing operating in the range of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz. The synthesizer uses a single phase-locked loop with trivial divide-by-2 circuits, single side band mixers, low-complexity filters, and multiplexers. Specifications of the synthesizer components are chosen in order to minimize the total spurs power and respect the IEEE802.15.3a recommendations.
