Dead Zone Minimization Using Variable-Delay Element in CP-PLL for 5G Applications
The deadzone occurring in a phase-frequency detector (PFD) is a critical parameter that affects the performance of a phase-locked loop (PLL). Though a fixed-delay element reduces the deadzone, it creates an imbalance in the pulse-arrival time and among the up and down signals to the charge pump, whi...
