Re: LNA design!
Hello! You can refer to the radio frequency integrated circuit design by John Rogers and Calvin Plett. The cha.6 have a full discussion and method to design the LNA.
Good Luck!:D
Re: fractional LO?
Hello!VCO and Prescaler are important parts in Fractional-PLL,and sigma-delta modulator may be used in it.
This a good book but you must give me your E-mail.
There maybe two trouble with your F-N. One is your sigma-delta modulator is sometimes wrong, because its closed-loop means something wrong by my opinion. The other is your divider can't work ideally, especially in swallow counter and program counter and prescaler.
Best Regards!
hspice and spectre can simulate the PLL system on transistor level ,though it is very slow but it is only a accurate method. Verilog-A only simulate PLL on behavior level and be used in simple research or verification in advance.
It puzzle the IC design engineer to simulate PLL in sample and...
A problem encountered in my design of LNA.
The layout have finished and post-simulation is well.But the NF is bad when I add the models of I/O Pads into the post-simulation.
what can I do?How to get the ideal NF?
Thanks in advance!
It's not difficulty!
If you put the divider bewteen the PFD nad VCO, the output of VCO is sine which will input thedivider, then you insert a circuit to make sine to square. Eg.the circuit is a OPA,and the OPA can cut the sine to square,--you may set input dc highly and load resistor(or other...
It means your PLL is unlocked. You try to jump some number in fraction and try it again. If your PLL always do wrong , your chip is failed.

Re: Folded Cascode
Q of inductor is a bottleneck of RF design. You may add a buffer(Source Follow) at output. Another solution means LC tank spilt with mixer, but it's not your mean.
Regard!
