Analysis of Oscillation Amplitude and Phase Error in Multiphase LC Oscillators
Authors
Abstract:
Abstract This work proposes a novel method to find the phase error and oscillation amplitude in multiphase LC oscillators. A mathematical approach is used to find the relationship between every stage's output phase and its coupling factor. To much more general analysis, every stage assumed to have a different coupling factor. The mismatches in LC tanks are considered as the main source of phase errors and accordingly the phase deviation of each stage is calculated in a distinct equation. Then the amplitude of oscillation for each stage is individually derived using phase error results. Not only considering different coupling factors increases the generality of this work but also the results are in better conformance with simulations compared to previous works. The theoretical results are evaluated and confirmed through extensive simulations using ADS software.

Emergence of amplitude and oscillation death in identical coupled oscillators.
We deduce rigorous conditions for the onset of amplitude death (AD) and oscillation death (OD) in a system of identical coupled paradigmatic Stuart-Landau oscillators. A nonscalar coupling and high frequency are beneficial for the onset of AD. In strong contrast, scalar diffusive coupling and low intrinsic frequency are in favor of the emergence of OD. Our finding contributes to clearly disting...

There have beem many studies on the analysis and design of low-noise oscillators. Recently, much attention has been paid to the noise reduction technique using coupled oscillators. When oscillators are coupled, the coupling method is very important and affects various factors, for example, the level of noise.

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...

A description in terms of phase and amplitude variables is given, for nonlinear oscillators subject to white Gaussian noise described by Itô stochastic differential equations. The stochastic differential equations derived for the amplitude and the phase are rigorous, and their validity is not limited to the weak noise limit. If the noise intensity is small, the equations can be efficiently solv...

--Coupled LC oscillators are known to provide good performance in terms of phase noise, signal amplitude, power consumption, and quadrature output signals. However, IQ amplitude and phase mismatches in these oscillators can be quite large due to the serious mismatch problem of large area inductors and varactors. A simple design modification of the coupled LC oscillators shows a significant impr...
