Doubling of reference frequency is achieved by using a new (N + 1/2) programmable divider which enables a half division ratio, compared with that of a conventional divider, and it leads to a bigger loop gain K and the speed-up of lock up time. The experimental results of lock up time will be given together with the spectrum of the output frequency.", pages = "123-130(8)", url = "http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/tandf/tetn/1998/00000084/00000002/art00004" }
