Fast Hopping Frequency Generation in Digital CMOS

Abstract

In many receiver and transmitter architecture, or in general any application that requires frequency translation, the availability of multiple phases of a carrier frequency is desired and makes the on-chip implementation of that architecture feasible or simpler. An example is an image-reject receiver using the Hartley or Weaver architectures, where quadrature phases of the carrier signal are needed.
