摘要

現今通訊對於高資料量和高資料傳輸速度的要求，迫使通訊系統的操作頻率往更高頻的方向邁進。因此將來的通訊系統將會操作於較高的頻率區間，這代表通訊系統裡，某一些電路方塊將工作於相當高的頻率下。除頻器對於各種通訊系統而言，是不可或缺的電路方塊，尤其是鎖相迴路，除頻器降低輸入訊號的頻率，讓此較低頻的訊號，能夠讓其他系統使用。對於越來越高操作頻率的通訊系統而言，高頻除頻器顯的重要且必須的。
本報告最重要的核心重點，在於如何設計不同的高頻除頻器，並且使用標準的CMOS製程。首先介紹鎖相迴路的基本原理，在此將會詳細介紹除頻器，在鎖相迴路裡所扮演的角色，以及使用高頻除頻器所帶來的好處。此報告將實現一個完全積體電路化，且使用標準0.18-□m CMOS製程的除頻器，此除頻器操作頻率高於20GHz ，並且能夠提供給 Local Multipoint Distribution System 所使用。所提出的除頻器是由類比電路、和數位電路所構成的，且在頻率範圍 18.8GHz ~ 23.2GHz 內，此除頻器能夠將輸入頻率正確的除以四。
再者，一個具有主動電感，且使用標準CMOS製程的除頻器被實現，此提出的除頻器使用主動電感，取代傳統被動電感，利用主動電感面積小的優點，大幅縮小除頻器所需要的晶片面積。且使用source degeneration的方法，提升除頻器的操作頻率。從量測結果可知，此除頻器在頻率範圍5.4GHz ~ 6.4GHz內，都能將輸入頻率正確的除以2，於其他電路相同架構相比之下，本次工作擁有較小的晶片面積。最後介紹一個具有迴授電阻的除頻器，此除頻器利用迴授電阻，大幅提升除頻器的操作頻率，從模擬結果可知，所提出的除頻器能夠正確工作在12GHz ~ 20GHz，且與其他除頻器相比而言，所提出的除頻器，在相同操作頻率下，具有較小的晶片面積。

ABSTRACT

The demand of the high data capacity and high transmitting rate makes the operation frequency of the communication system increases rapidly. The frequency divider, typically used for phase-locked loop, plays an important role in a communication system. The frequency divider reduces the high frequency to low frequency for certain application.
The main focus of this work is to design various frequency dividers based on a standard CMOS technology. The basic theory of the Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is introduced in the beginning, which illustrates the importance of a frequency divider, and the advantage of using high frequency divider for PLL. A fully integrated frequency divider is implemented by a 0.18-□m CMOS technology and demonstrates an operation frequency up to 20GHz for Local Multipoint Distribution System (LMDS) applications. The proposed frequency divider consists of both analog circuit and digital circuit with a function of divided by 4 in the frequency range from18.8GHz ~ 23.2GHz.
Second, a frequency divider with active inductor is implemented in CMOS technology. The proposed frequency divider replaces the passive spiral inductor with active inductor to reduce the required chip area significantly. The methodology of source degeneration is used to increase the operation frequency. From measurement results, the proposed frequency divider has the function of divided by 2 in the frequency range from 5.4GHz ~ 6.4GHz. Compared with other works, this work has the smaller chip area under the same circuit topology.
A frequency divider with feedback resistor is designed, which employs a feedback resistor to increase the operation frequency. From simulation results, the feedback resistor can increase operation frequency effectively. The proposed frequency divider can operate in the frequency range from 12GHz to 20GHz. Compared with other works, this work has the smaller chip area under the same operation frequency.
