Housed in a 4 x 4-mm MLPQ16 package, the SX1781 RF synthesizer with built-in PLL circuits, includes a VCO and loop filter. The device can generate a frequency output range of 1.2 to 1.4 GHz with a 250 ...

The three major building blocks in a modern, fully-integrated transceiver are a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), and a synthesizer. A synthesizer design is quite different from the TX or the RX.

Active inductors have emerged as a transformative component in CMOS radio frequency (RF) circuit design, effectively replacing traditional passive inductors with active semiconductor networks. By ...
