چکیده
A low phase noise, small power dissipation and small sized K-band cascode differential voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with capacitive feedback topology using 0.18 μm CMOS technology is described. The VCO operated can be tuned between 19.1 GHz and 20.9 GHz and has low phase noise of -108.67 dBc/Hz at a 1 MHz offset. The output power of the 20.7 GHz is about -21.12 dBm. The Figure of merit (FOM) is -186.2 dBc/Hz and the power-frequency tuning-normalized figure-of-merit (PFTN) is -8.89 dB. The power consumption of the VCO was 10.8 mW from a 1.8 V power supply with only 0.46 mm chip area. Keywords-phase noise, tuning range, FOM, PFTN, K-band, CMOS, voltage control oscillators (VCOs).

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...
