Abstract
In this chapter, the relation between wireless transceivers and frequency translation, thus frequency synthesizers is described. The aim of this it to present a global view of the role that frequency translation plays in modern-day wireless communications. This role does not come without its unwanted effects to the transceiver as a whole. As a result, the main parameters that govern the operation of frequency synthesizers are presented along with the limitations that they present on modern wireless transceivers. The following explanation is purely for the purpose of this work and does constitute by any means an extensive or intensive view of the topic.
