Design and Simulation of a PLL for Use in a W-CDMA RF Module

This article focuses on a special phase-locked loop (PLL) module used in a W-CDMA mobile terminal with an RF direct modulation transmitter and a superheterodyne receiver. The basic theory, design and simulation of the phase-locked loop and voltage-cont...
W-CDMA is one of the most important requirements of 3G mobile communication systems,1 and it presents a challenge to the design of RF systems for W-CDMA mobile terminals. Compared with a conventional superheterodyne structure, the direct RF I/Q modulation shows the advantages of a simple circuit configuration and low...
