Abstract
Portable, wireless devices have become ubiquitous, and ever-increasing requirements of functionality and reliability are being placed upon these devices. There is a need to accommodate the oft-conflicting requirements of small size, low power consumption, low cost, and extremely accurate control of frequency. To address these RF design requirements, a comprehensive survey of existing frequency-control methods is presented, followed by a novel design which accomplishes a high degree of frequency accuracy through the use of direct digital synthesis and a software seeking algorithm. The proposed design can be implemented pursuant to the requirements of current and future portable wireless devices.
