  • Publication number: 20080231324
    Abstract: A phase frequency detector with two different delays is disclosed herein. The phase detector comprises a first D flip-flop, a second D flip-flop, a first delay unit and a second delay unit. The first D flip-flop receives a reference signal to output an up signal. The second D flip-flop receives a clock signal to output a down signal. The first delay unit delays the received signal with a first delay. The second delay unit delays the received signal with a second delay. When the reference signal synchronizes with the clock signal and the charge pump currents are calibrated, the high-level pulse widths of the up signal and the down signal are determined based on the first delay, and when the reference signal does not synchronize with the clock signal and the charge pump currents are not calibrated, the high-level pulse widths of the up signal and the down signal are determined based on the second delay.

  • Publication number: 20080031371
    Abstract: A frequency synthesizer for generating a plurality of frequencies of a MB-OFDM UWB system is disclosed, wherein the frequencies include first to fourteenth frequencies from low to high and any of the adjacent two frequencies differs by a basic intervallic frequency. The frequency synthesizer includes a phase locked loop generating an initial signal with a frequency equal to the second frequency, an intervallic frequency generator generating first to third intervallic frequencies from low to high and all being integers times the basic intervallic frequency and generating a forth intervallic frequency equal to the basic intervallic frequency, and first to third mixers connected in series, respectively receiving the fourth intervallic frequency, one of the first to third intervallic, and the first intervallic frequency, to respectively generate the first to third frequencies, the fourth to ninth and the thirteenth to fourteenth frequencies, and the tenth to twelfth frequencies.
