The remaining band groups have the range of 3.1–10.6 GHz. The most important specifications for the frequency synthesizer in an MB-OFDM UWB transceiver are been defined and left as optional to enable a structured and provided. A synthesizer architecture for an existing frequency plan progressive expansion of the system capabilities. Current ef- is introduced along with a discussion on its performance and im- forts from semiconductor companies for the implementation of plementation. An alternative frequency plan and its corresponding UWB devices focus on the first band group to achieve a faster synthesizer architecture are also proposed. It is shown how this time-to-market and affordable power consumption with current modified frequency plan leads to a significant simplification in the synthesizer realization. The feasible performance of both synthe- CMOS [4] and BiCMOS
