Abstract

A theoretical basis for the figure of merit method used to quantify the phase noise plateau of a PLL frequency synthesiser is described. Analyses are developed both to calculate the in-band phase noise of a given synthesiser architecture and to predict the figure of merit from the phase/frequency detector parameters. A range of experimental results is provided to validate the theory.
