Abstract
This paper presents a fractional-N Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) using an inductor-less voltage-
controlled oscillator (VCO) and a digital delta-sigma modulator for 5G and high-frequency applica-
tions. Operating with a 20 MHz reference frequency, the synthesizer achieves a 10 MHz bandwidth,
significantly suppressing the phase noise of its constituent ring oscillators. Fabricated in 180-nm
CMOS technology, the design demonstrates an in-band phase noise of -101.5 dBc/Hz and an inte-
grated jitter of 1.89 ps rms .
