A Noise-Shifting Differential Colpitts VCO
A novel noise-shifting differential Colpitts VCO is presented. It uses current switching to lower phase noise by cyclostationary noise alignment and improve the start-up condition. A design strategy is also devised to enhance the phase noise performance of quadrature coupled oscillators. Two integrated VCOs are presented as design examples.
متن کاملQuadrature Vco Formed with Two Colpitts Vco Coupled via an Lc-ring Resonator
This paper presents a new quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO), which consists of two p-core Colpitts cross-coupled voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) with an LC ring resonator to provide the quadrature outputs. The proposed CMOS QVCO has been implemented with the TSMC 0.18μm CMOS technology and the die area is 0.478×0.82mm2. At the supply voltage of 1.5V, the total power consumpt...
متن کامل17.2 A CMOS Differential Noise-Shifting Colpitts VCO
Demand for higher numbers of communication channels imposes tighter phase noise performance for the local oscillators. Cross-coupled oscillators are widely used due to ease of implementation and differential operation (Figure 17.2.1a) [1,2,3]. Unfortunately, in cross-coupled VCOs the maximum noise generation instant coincides with maximum phase noise sensitivity and hence the cross-coupled VCOs...
متن کاملK-band Cmos Vco Using a Wide Tuning Range Varactor
This article presents a K-band CMOS voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using a wide tuning range MOSFET varactor. The proposed varactor consists of a MOSFET in which the source and drain are connected to each other through a large resistor, the body is grounded through another large resistor, and the gate and source are connected through a capacitor. The newly proposed varactor improves the tu...
متن کاملLow Phase Noise and Wide Tuning Range VCO Using the MOS Differential Amplifier with Active Load
We demonstrate the design of a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), which is based on a metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOS) differential amplifier with active load. This VCO achieves low phase noise and wide tuning range. The phase noise is –120 dBc/Hz at 600 KHz offset from a 1.216 GHz carrier frequency. This value is comparable to that of a LC-based integrated oscill...
