A 910MHz Injection Locked BFSK Transceiver for Wireless Body Sensor Network Using Colpitts Oscillator

A 910MHz high efficiency RF transceiver for Wireless Body Area Network in medical application is presented in this paper. High energy efficiency transmitter and receiver architectures are proposed. In wireless body sensor network, the transmitter must have higher efficiency compared with the receiver because a large amount of data is sent from sensor node to receiver of the base station and sma...

A Low Phase Noise Ring Oscillator Phase-Locked Loop for Wireless Applications

This thesis describes the circuit level design of a 900MHz EA ring oscillator based phase-locked loop using 0.35um technology. Multiple phase noise theories are considered giving insight into low phase-noise voltage controlled oscillator design. The circuit utilizes a fully symmetric differential voltage controlled oscillator with cascode current starved inverters to reduces current noise. A co...

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...

A Micromachined RF Low Phase Noise Voltage-Controlled Oscillator For Wireless Communications

An RF low phase noise voltage-controlled oscillator is implemented with micromachined IC-compatible variable capacitors and three-dimensional coil inductor. Unlike conventional on-chip passive devices, the micromachined variable capacitors achieve a high-Q value above 60 at 1 GHz with a 15% tuning range for a nominal 2 pF capacitance with 3 V tuning voltage. Three-dimensional inductors minimize...
