نویسنده
چکیده
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.

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...

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...

This thesis presents a backgate coupled QVCO with current reused structure, and complementary cross-coupled differential Colpitts VCO and QVCO. The formally proposed QVCO not only dissipates significantly lower power but also improves 1/ƒ close-in phase noise, compared to the conventional QVCO. For verification of the suggested idea, the proposed QVCO designed for 2 GHz operation based on a 0.1...
