Fractional-N frequency synthesizers that use a digital Δ-Σ modulator (DDSM) to control the feedback divider can exhibit spurious tones that move about in the frequency domain; these are known colloquially as ``walking'' or wandering spurs. Building

Apart from the well-known nonlinearity-induced fixed spurs, a DDSM divider-based fractional- $N$ frequency synthesizer can manifest spurs with time-varying frequency offsets from the carrier; these are called wandering spurs. This paper presents expe

The interaction between quantization noise intro-duced by the divider controller and memoryless nonlinearities in a fractional-N PLL causes fractional spurs to occur. This paper presents a comprehensive theory to explain why combinations of quantizer

Wandering spurs are a little-studied phenomenon seen in MASH and SQ-digital delta-sigma modulators. They take the form of frequency-modulated spurs which periodically appear in-band. Since modulators are often employed as divide ratio controllers in

A 4.48-GHz type-II charge pump fractional- ${N}$ PLL implemented in a 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ BiCMOS process is presented. The divider controller’s output is processed using a novel block, the probability mass redistributor, which statistically reconf

Integer boundary spurs appear in the passband of the loop response of fractional- ${N}$ phase lock loops and are, therefore, a potentially significant component of the phase noise. In spite of measures guaranteeing spur-free modulator outputs, the in

The instantaneous divide value of the multimodulus divider in the feedback path of a fractional-N PLL is determined by a divider controller, which is usually implemented as a digital delta-sigma modulator $(\mathrm (D)\Delta \Sigma \mathrm (M))$. A d

The MASH Digital Delta-Sigma Modulator (DDSM) based divider controller represents a speed bottleneck in state of the art commercial PLL-based fractional-N frequency synthesizers. As next generation systems require higher phase detector frequencies, t

Noise-shaping quantizers are used in fractional-N PLLs to provide a fractional-mean modulation signal to the loop divider. A drawback to this method is the introduction of phase noise due to the changing divide ratio. Noise shaping techniques are typ

The noise-shaping quantizer is commonly used in Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizers to provide a control signal to the feedback divider with a fractional mean component and high-pass spectral properties. The Digital Delta-Sigma Modulator (DΔΣM) is
