Two architectures of 77-GHz fractional-N phase-locked loops (PLLs) for FMCW radars are presented. Both architectures show good performance in terms of phase noise with −79 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency. To achieve this, the integration of a delay-locked loop-based frequency multiplier for the reference signal in the PLL is proposed. It exhibits very low phase noise and proves to be an excellent...
A digital phase-locked synthesizer for application in a 77-GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is presented. It consists of a digital phase discriminator, a digital loop filter, highpass modulation, and predistortion of the VCO tuning characteristic. An additional feature is the ability to store the previous phase errors for iterative adaptation of the loop filter coefficients and...
The synthesis of linear frequency sweeps or chirps is required, among others, in frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar systems for object position estimation. Low phase and frequency errors in sweeps with high bandwidth are a prerequisite for good accuracy and resolution, but, in certain applications where high measurement rates are desired, the additional demand for short sweep cycles has to...
