5-7 GHz Low Phase Noise CMOS Frequency Synthesizer and Tunable Filter

Introduction

Modern wireless networks require high purity frequency sources to allow full duplex operation in which the transmitter and the receiver operate simultaneously.

Project Scope

Circuit-level design of a frequency synthesizer and tunable bandpass filter in advanced CMOS tech.

Project Roadmap (one semester)

  1. Literature survey on
  2. Frequency generation circuitry theory
  3. Synthesizer circuit blocks design
  4. Tunable filter design
  5. System integration and performance evaluation

Project Roadmap (two semesters)

Fabrication and lab measurements
