一种新型低功耗CMOS压控振荡器采用电感偏置实现高性能的FoM

A novel voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO) topology with low voltage and low power is presented. It employed the inductive-biasing to build a feedback path between the tank and the MOS gate to enhance the voltage gain from output nodes of the tank to the gate node of the cross-coupled transistor. Theoretical analysis using timevarying phase noise theory derives closed-form symbolic formulas for the 1/f~2 phase noise region, showing that this feedback path could improve the phase noise performance. The proposed VCO is fabricated in TSMC 0.13 m CMOS technology. Working under a 0.3 V supply voltage with 1.2 m W power consumption, the measured phase noise of the VCO is –119.4 d Bc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency from the carrier of 4.92 GHz, resulting in an Fo M of 192.5 d Bc/Hz.

This paper presents a novel dual-band quadrature voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) with the gain proportional to the oscillation frequency.Frequency synthesizers with this VCO can reduce the bandwidth fluctuation over all the frequency ranges without compensation or calibration.Besides the original switched capacitor array, an extra switched varactor array is adopted for the implementation of the proposed VCO.The tuning technique of changing the values of the capacitor and varactor at the same ratio is also derived.For verification purposes, a 2.5 G/3.5 G dual-band quadrature VCO is fabricated in a 0.13μm CMOS process for WiMAX applications. Measurement results show that the VCO gain is closely proportional to the oscillation frequency with±16%variation over the entire frequency range.The phase noise is -138.15 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz from the 2.5 GHz carrier and -137.44 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz from the 3.5 GHz carrier.
