Ultra-Low Power, Low Phase Noise 10 GHz LC VCO in the Subthreshold Regime
A new design for an ultra-low power, low phase noise differential 10 GHz LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) which is biased in the subthreshold regime, is presented in the 0.18 μm CMOS process, for the first time. The designed circuit topology is an NMOS only cross-coupled LC-tank VCO which has an extra symmetric centre tapped inductor between the source ends of the cross-coupled transistor...
متن کاملA Subthreshold Low-Voltage Low-Phase-Noise CMOS LC-VCO with Resistive Biasing
This paper presents a low-phase-noise LC voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) with top resistive biasing in subthreshold region. The subthreshold LC-VCO has low-power and low-phase-noise due to its high transconductance efficiency and low gate bias condition. The top resistive biasing has more benefit with the feature of phase noise than MOS current source since it can support the low-noise c...
متن کاملA 32 GHz Low-Power Low-Phase-Noise VCO Implemented in SiGe BiCMOS Technology
—A low-phase-noise, low-power Ka-band VoltageControlled Oscillator (VCO) using cross-coupled pair configuration is presented. The Ka-band VCO circuit uses 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The VCO has low phase noise of -114.6 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 32.12 GHz carrier frequency and can be tuned from 30.17 to 33.48 GHz. The figure of merit is -202.1 dBc/Hz. The power consumption of the VCO wi...
متن کاملDesign of Low-Noise, Low-Power 10-GHz VCO Using 0.18-µm CMOS Technology
Owing to the extent of multimedia data transmission, the demand for large-capacity communication systems has increased drastically. In order to meet this demand, highspeed time-division multiplex (TDM) systems have been developed thus far [1]–[3]. Several component ICs using various high-speed devices such as HBTs based on SiGe [1] and compound semiconductor devices [2] have been studied for po...
متن کاملA Wideband Low Voltage Low Phase Noise 10-GHz SiGe Switchable VCO
This paper describes a fully integrated Silicon Germanium (SiGe) Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) chip with 19% tuning range and low phase noise suitable for 10-Gb/s fiber optic transceivers and X-band applications. It consists of two switchable externally enabled VCO’s. The total chip tuning range is 9.2-11.1GHz when the varactor control voltage varies from 0 to 3.0V and the measured phase ...
