Abstract

It is very important to get very high switching speed as well as low phase noise of frequency synthesizer in the OFDM/FH communication system. In this paper we compare the phase noises and switching speeds of the conventional PLL and digital hybrid PLL(DH-PLL) frequency synthesizer, also, we investigate the effect of phase noise on the performance of OFDM/FH communication system. DH-PLL has high switching speed property at the cost of circuit complexity and more power consumption. Unlike the conventional PLL in which the phase noise and switching speed have the trade off relationship in respect of loop filter bandwidth, DH-PLL frequency synthesizer can perform fast switching speed and low phase noise simultaneously. Under the condition of same hopping speed requirement, DH-PLL can achieve faster switching speed and lower SNR penalty compared with conventional PLL in the OFDM/FH communication system.

OFDM/FH 시스템 등 고속 호핑을 요구하는 통신 시스템에서는 빠른 스위칭 속도와 낮은 위상잡음을 갖는 주파수 합성기가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기와 DH-PLL 주파수 합성기의 위상잡음과 스위칭 속도를 비교하고, OFDM/FH 시스템에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. DH-PLL 주파수 합성기는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기에 비해 회로의 복잡도와 많은 전력 소모를 갖지만, 빠른 스위칭 속도를 갖고 있다. 일정한 루프필터 대역 하에서 위상잡음과 스위칭 속도가 반비례 관계를 갖고 있는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기와는 달리 DH-PLL 주파수 합성기는 매우 빠른 스위칭 속도와 낮은 위상잡음을 동시에 얻을 수 있다. 결과적으로 동일한 호핑 속도 요구를 만족해야 하는 경우 DH-PLL 주파수 합성기는 기존의 PLL 주파수 합성기보다 더 빠른 스위칭 속도와 더 적은 SNS손실을 얻을 수 있어 OFDM/FH 시스템 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다.
