The performance of a fractional-N frequency synthesizer is degraded due to the presence of unwanted spurious tones (spurs) in the output spectrum. The Digital Delta-Sigma Modulator can be directly responsible for the generation of spurs because of its inherent nonlinearity and periodicity. In this booklet we have predicted that specific nonlinearities in a fractional-N frequency synthesizer produce spurs at well-defined frequencies even if the output of the DDSM is spur free. Different spur free DDSM architectures have been investigated for the analysis of spurious tones in the output spectrum...
