A Low-Power GSM/EDGE/WCDMA Polar Transmitter in 65-nm CMOS
TL;DR: A low-power, multimode polar transmitter based on a two-point injection PLL with a linearized VCO is implemented in 65-nm CMOS technology that linearizes and accurately controls the tuning characteristic of the VCO, which is a key requirement when directly modulating the oscillator.
