Publication number: 20200162084Abstract: In some aspects, the disclosure is directed to methods and systems for utilizing a thin-film bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR) as a frequency reference for a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit controlling frequency of a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). In some implementations, the FBAR-based oscillator may be used as a reference to an analog or digital PLL circuit (either directly, or divided to a lower frequency). In other implementations, the FBAR-based oscillator may be used as a reference to a mixing-based PLL rather than a dividing-based PLL. Through these implementations, the noise contribution of many of the PLL circuit components or elements may be reduced (e.g. noise from a delta-sigma modulator (DSM), multiple modulus divider (MMD), phase frequency detector (PFD)/charge pump (CP), etc.).Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2019Publication date: May 21, 2020Inventors: Hooman DARABI, David MURPHY, Arya BEHZAD, Dihang YANG, Hung-Ming CHIEN, Choong Yul CHA

Patent number: 9350466Abstract: A transmitter capable of operating according to a first standard that does not interfere with a nearby frequency generator operating according to a second standard. The transmitter comprises an oscillator, a frequency divider, a mixer, and a filter. The oscillator is configured to output a first frequency that is outside of a frequency harmonic of the frequency generator. The frequency divider is coupled to the oscillator and divides the first frequency by a selective divide ratio to produce a second frequency. The mixer is configured to receive the first and second frequencies, which combines them to produce a mixed frequency. The filter is then used to filters the mixed frequency to obtain the higher portion of the mixed frequency. The divide ratio of the frequency divider is selected base on the desired output frequency of the transmitter such that a 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz ISM band frequency is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2011Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventor: Hung-Ming Chien
