Most PLL research focuses on narrowband systems that support only one communication standard. For a flexible system, it may be desirable to support multiple standards. A single PLL capable of operating over a wide frequency range while meeting all the requirements of the individual standards can save area and design effort, compared with multiple PLLs each supporting only one standard. This thesis presents a PLL that has a very wide tuning range, accurate quadrature outputs, and is geared towards low phase noise. The VCO is identified as the limiting factor in the tuning range and source of the quadrature outputs, as well as the primary source of the phase noise above the loop bandwidth of the PLL, so its design is the principle focus herein.
