Noise in Frequency Dividers
Attila Kinali, Sophie Wenning · 2024
We calculate the noise performance of$\Pi-,\ \Lambda{-}$, and Digital Direct Synthesis (DDS) based dividers. Unlike previous calculations that often rely on ad hoc properties of the signal and its transformation, almost always stated without proof and relying on intuition, we start the calculation from the physical behavior of the circuit and derive its performance directly.
