Modelling of integrated VCO resonators using Momentum
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper will demonstrate the use of momentum to model on chip spiral inductors and transmission lines. The simulation results will be compared with measured data on these structures. These modeling techniques will be extended to include an on chip balun. A method of converting the results will be given so that compact efficient models can be created that can be included in any time domain or harmonic balance simulator. Phase noise simulation results of typical VCOs using the modeled resonators will be presented. A demonstration of the improved results obtained by the use of the balun will clearly show the benefits of custom modeling.

Digital RF transceiver architectures increasingly require quadrature (I/Q) local oscillator sinusoid generation, where the phasenoise and power consumption of the quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (QVCO) have a significant impact on the system performance. The relevance of VCO power consumption becomes even more urgent due to the demand for implementations of ultra-low power short-range ...

On-chip distributed transmission line resonators in CMOS technology have become the interest of research subjects recently (Ono et al. 2001; Umeda et al., 1994; Kanaya et al., 2006; Wolf, 2006) because of their size which becomes more compact, as the frequency of application increases. Among the various transmission lines, coplanar waveguide (CPW) has more engineering applications (Toyoda, 1996...
