A Fundamental Consideration for Phase Noise Measurement of Extremely Low Phase Noise Oscillator

A Low Power Low Phase Noise Oscillator for MICS Transceivers

A low-power, low-phase-noise quadrature oscillator for Medical Implantable Communications Service (MICS) transceivers is presented. The proposed quadrature oscillator generates 349~689 MHz I/Q (In-phase and Quadrature) signals covering the MICS band. The oscillator is based on a differential pair with positive feedback. Each delay cell consists of a few transistors enabling lower voltage operat...

Low Phase Noise Voltage - Controlled Oscillator

A Low Power Low Phase Noise Lc Voltage- Controlled Oscillator

A low phase noise CMOS complementary cross-coupled LC-tank voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), implemented with TSMC 0.18μm 1P6M CMOS technology, is presented. Double pair pseudoresistance transistors biased by the tapped center of the inductor are utilized to reduce the DC bias current. The circuit consumes 1.55 mA from a 1.5 V supply voltage which saves up to 52.4% power, compared with the c...

Oscillator Modeling and Phase Noise

Oscillator Modeling and Phase Noise by Brian Nguyen Limketkai Doctor of Philosophy in Engineering-Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences University of California, Berkeley Professor Robert W. Brodersen, Chair Using a dynamical systems perspective, we develop a method to calculate phase noise in oscillators based on a particle diffusion model. Starting from the basic nonlinear equations of...

Voltage-Controlled Ring Oscillator for Low Phase Noise Application

A design for a voltage-controlled ring oscillator (VCO) is presented. The design allows an implementation of low frequency ring oscillator using relatively small devices and less stage. It is implemented using .18um technology provided by TSMC technology using 3.3V power supply. The VCO topology exhibits a very wide tuning range from few Hz to 368.9 MHz. It also features the rapid voltage swing...
