چکیده
A differential Colpitts oscillator using AlN MEMS CMR designed in 0.13 um CMOS is presented in this work. The oscillator operates at 1.16 GHz, with a total power consumption of 4.2 mW at 1 V supply. It achieves a phase noise of -143.6 dBc/Hz, 173.3 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz and 1 MHz offset frequency respectively with a figure of merit (FOM) of 228.3 dB. Current-based temperature compensation was employed to reduce oscillator drift across temperature.

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...
