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 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 کاملBalanced Sub-1-V MOSFET Colpitts-VCO with Varactor-Integrated Feedback Capacitors
This study integrates a MOS varactor into one of feedback capacitors in the half circuit of a balanced Colpitts VCO. This leads to significant increase of the negative resistance of the balanced Colpitts VCO, thereby ensuring stable start-up of oscillation even at the sub-1-V supply voltage and causing further signal swing in the tank.
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 کاملA 10-GHz Low Phase Noise Differential Colpitts CMOS VCO Using Transformer Coupling Technology
We demonstrated a 10GHz low phase noise differential Colpitts Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) utilizing TSMC 0.18 m μ 1P6M CMOS process with transformer coupling technology. The transformer coupling approach not only reduces the phase noise but also improves the power consumption owing to the number of active devices can be reduced. The total power consumption of this VCO is 20 mW and there...
