This paper focus on how to design a better component, at same time, I also study the theory of phase-locked loop and simulate PLL by ADS、Hspice and Matlab. For enhancing the performance, I add QVCO that is proposed in this paper to PLL. According to simulated results, it shows better performance than other PLL certainly. As to high conversion gain mixer, it can integrate with differential antenna being a front-end circuit without LNA. In chapter 3, the integrated circuit is the first step to plan how to make better performance for integration. So, the circuit will be measured completely, shown as Fig. 5 - 1, and improving performance will be my future research.
