Abstract: An ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency synthesizer is provided for use in UWB communication. The UWB frequency synthesizer may include a first section and a second section. The first section may be configured to generate a first plurality of frequencies. The second section may be coupled to the first section and configured to generate a second plurality of frequencies respectively corresponding to individual channels of UWB bandwidth based upon the first plurality of frequencies. Further, the first section is configured to include a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) providing a base frequency fvco corresponding to the UWB bandwidth, and to generate the first plurality of frequencies based on a single phase-locked loop (PLL) and a reference frequency provided to the single PLL based on the base frequency fvco.
