“…In order to suppress the ripple, decreasing the loop bandwidth is an effective way [14,15]. Besides, many other attempts have also been tried to reduce reference spur in the past few years [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25]. For example, a PLL with randomly selected PFD is described to average the charge pump output ripple, in which four PFDs operating at different frequencies are exploited [20].…”
