Abstrakt: Jitter is a matter of great concern for high-speed digital designers because of its ability to degrade the overall system performance. Designing a low-jitter and wide-band phase locked loop (PLL) system is of practical importance because of its application in high speed digital systems. This paper experimentally investigates a low-jitter and wide-band dual cascaded PLL system using a single crystal oscillator. The first PLL used in the system employs a voltage-controlled crystal oscillator (VCXO) to eliminate the input jitter whereas the second PLL provides wide bandwidth. Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is used to generate a jittered clock source which is then passed through the proposed system to achieve wide-band and low-jitter signal. Experimental results are presented to validate the proposed technique for different carrier frequencies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
