A New Low - Noise 100 - MHz Balanced Relaxation Oscillator
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstrnct -A new fully balanced architecture for high-frequency, lownoise relaxation oscillators is presented. Differential operation is achieved with the use of two grounded capacitors utilizing the circuit parasitics. Bypassing of the regenerative memory function in the oscillator benefits both high-speed and low-noise operation. In addition a detailed analysis of phase noise in relaxation oscillators is performed. Results obtained from a test chip have verified both the viability of the new oscillator concept and the developed phase-noise theory. The oscillator circuit has been realized in a medium-frequency (f, = 3 GHz) bipolar process. The tuning range extends to 150 MHz. At an oscillation frequency of 115 MHz, measured phase noise was -118 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz distance from the carrier.

متن کاملA Phase Noise Reduction Technique in LC Cross-coupled Oscillators with Adjusting Transistors Operating Regions
In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...

متن کاملCalculation and Reduction of Low Frequency Noise Upconversion in LC Oscillators
This paper discusses an analytical description of low frequency upconversion in LC oscillators. We show that upconversion into phase noise can be substantially reduced by modification of circuit topology. The theoretical discussion is supported by measurements of a 100 MHz BJT Colpitts model oscillator.
