In this paper, a second-order stochastic differential equation is used as a tool for the analysis of phase noise in a submicron CMOS LC oscillator. A cross-coupled topology typical of integrated CMOS designs is considered. Nonlinear limiting and mobility degradation effects in the circuit are modeled and used to predict the statistics of the random amplitude and phase deviations in terms of design variables. Assuming Gaussian noise disturbances and describing the phase noise as a random diffusion process, the average phase-noise power spectrum is derived and its accuracy verified with measurement and simulation results. Calculations for phase noise arising from stationary tank noise, nonstationary channel thermal noise, and flicker noise are discussed. The analysis is used to emphasize the fundamental power/performance tradeoff associated with compensation of tank losses via adjustments in the power supply and device size. 相似文献

The variation of phase noise across the frequency of operation of a CMOS ring oscillator is described analytically. The delay element of the ring oscillator considered comprises of a source-coupled differential pair with an active load element. In this circuit topology where the frequency of oscillation is varied by changing the resistance of the load, theory derived in this work predicts that phase noise will remain constant if constant output swing is maintained. Such an oscillator is designed in a 0.5 m CMOS process and the simulation results verify the theoretical analysis. Consequently, an oscillator design methodology is provided that dramatically reduces the phase noise optimization problem to just one frequency within the oscillator's output frequency range. 相似文献

A study of phase noise in CMOS oscillators 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
This paper presents a study of phase noise in two inductorless CMOS oscillators. First-order analysis of a linear oscillatory system leads to a noise shaping function and a new definition of Q. A linear model of CMOS ring oscillators is used to calculate their phase noise, and three phase noise phenomena, namely, additive noise, high-frequency multiplicative noise, and low-frequency multiplicative noise, are identified and formulated. Based on the same concepts, a CMOS relaxation oscillator is also analyzed. Issues and techniques related to simulation of noise in the time domain are described, and two prototypes fabricated in a 0.5-μm CMOS technology are used to investigate the accuracy of the theoretical predictions. Compared with the measured results, the calculated phase noise values of a 2-GHz ring oscillator and a 900-MHz relaxation oscillator at 5 MHz offset have an error of approximately 4 dB 相似文献

Voltage supply scaling in CMOS processes requires lower inductance and higher capacitance in conventional LC oscillators. Forcing several LC oscillators to run in phase is a valuable means of achieving the wanted phase noise with practical values of inductances and capacitances. However, in-phase oscillator arrays suffer from the up-conversion of transistors' flicker noise, in the presence of oscillator mismatches. A multitank oscillator topology is proposed, which has superior tolerance to mismatches and removes this mechanism of noise degradation. In order to assess such topology, an 802.11 a-compliant VCO with four coupled oscillators has been designed in a 0.13-mum CMOS technology. A phase noise better than -120 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset has been achieved along the 4.7-5.9-GHz tuning range 相似文献

An LC-tank quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO) is proposed to achieve frequency-band reconfigurability and low phase noise. In this work, phase noise contributed by the 1/f noise of coupling transistors and tail transistors is noticeably reduced when series coupling and switched biasing techniques are simultaneously adopted. The proposed QVCO was implemented in 0.25-μm triple-well CMOS process for K-PCS and WCDMA bands. Measured results showed a phase noise of ?117 dBc/Hz at an offset of 1 MHz and a phase-noise figure-of-merit of ?172 dBc/Hz while consuming 8.13 mA from a 2-V power supply. 相似文献

A low phase-noise X-band push-push oscillator using proposed feedback topology is presented in this paper. The oscillator core was implemented in a 0.18-mum CMOS process. By using a power splitter and a delay path in the feedback loop connecting the output and current source of the oscillator, a part of the oscillator output power injects to the oscillator itself. With the proper phase delay in the feedback loop and high transconductance of the current source, a low phase-noise oscillator is achieved. The amplitude stability and phase stability are analyzed, the phenomena of the phase-noise reductions are derived, and the device-size selections of the oscillator are investigated. The time-variant function, impulse sensitivity function, is also adopted to analyze the phase-noise reductions of the second-harmonic self-injected push-push oscillator. These theories are verified by the experiments. This self-injected push-push oscillator achieves low phase noise of -120.1 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset from the 9.6-GHz carrier. The power consumption is 13.8 mW from a 1.0-V supply voltage. The figure-of-merit of the oscillator is -188.3 dBc/Hz. It is also the first attempt to analyze the second-harmonic self-injected push-push oscillator 相似文献

In this article, jitter and phase noise of all-digital phase-locked loop due to power supply noise (PSN) with deterministic frequency are analysed. It leads to the conclusion that jitter and phase noise heavily depend on the noise frequency. Compared with jitter, phase noise is much less affected by the deterministic PSN. Our method is utilised to study a CMOS ADPLL designed and simulated in SMIC 0.13?µm standard CMOS process. A comparison between the results obtained by our method and those obtained by simulation and measurement proves the accuracy of the predicted model. When the digital controlled oscillator was corrupted by PSN with 100?mVpk-pk, the measured jitters were 33.9?ps at the rate of fG?=?192?MHz and 148.5?ps at the rate of fG?=?40?MHz. However, the measured phase noise was exactly the same except for two impulses appearing at 192 and 40?MHz, respectively. 相似文献

In this paper, a low-phase-noise 67-GHz CMOS oscillator is presented. This inductorless voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)
employs a combination of standing-wave and travelling-wave oscillators to generate multi-phase outputs. A filtering technique
is used to reduce the phase noise of the VCO. The oscillator achieves a tuning range of 5.2 GHz using a combination of coarse
and fine tuning methods. The proposed multi-phase oscillator is designed and fabricated in a 0.13-μm CMOS process. Operating
at 67 GHz, the VCO consumes 14 mW from a 1.2-V supply and achieves an output phase noise of −95.66 dBc/Hz (−107.89 dBc/Hz)
at a 1 MHz (10 MHz) offset. The chip area is 0.9 mm2. As an application example for the presented multi-phase oscillator, a polar transmitter structure is proposed. The transmitter
is designed for systems that use a circular quadrature-amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation. A specific example of a 16-QAM
transmitter is presented. The desired output phase is chosen by an 8-to-1 multiplexer, and a variable gain amplifier (VGA)
is used to achieve the desired amplitude. Based on post-layout simulations, the 60-GHz 16-QAM transmitter consumes 43.2 mW
from a 1.2-V supply. 相似文献

A family of standard cells for phase-locked loop (PLL) applications is presented. The applications are processed using a 1.5 μm, n-well, double-polysilicon, double-layer metal CMOS process. Applications include frequency synthesis for computer clock generation, disk drives, and pixel clock generators for computer monitors, with maximum frequencies up to 80 MHz. The synthesizers require no external components since the loop filter and oscillator are on chip with the phase frequency detector and the charge pump. Special voltage and current reference cells are discussed. Analysis of noise sources in the PLL demonstrates the need for reducing the phase noise of the system. A low phase noise is achieved through supply rejection techniques and by placing the oscillator in a high-gain feedback loop to minimize its noise contributions. Laboratory measurements of completed silicon show synthesizers with exceptionally linear gain, as well as transient responses and phase noise similar to predicted results 相似文献

Distributed voltage-controlled oscillators (DVCOs) are presented as a new approach to the design of silicon VCOs at microwave frequencies. In this paper, the operation of distributed oscillators is analyzed and the general oscillation condition is derived, resulting in analytical expressions for the frequency and amplitude. Two tuning techniques for DVCOs are demonstrated, namely, the inherent-varactor tuning and delay-balanced current-steering tuning. A complete analysis of the tuning techniques is presented. CMOS and bipolar DVCOs have been designed and fabricated in a 0.35-μm BiCMOS process. A 10-GHz CMOS DVCO achieves a tuning range of 12% (9.3-10.5 GHz) and a phase noise of -103 dBc/Hz at 600 kHz offset from the carrier. The oscillator provides an output power of -4.5 dBm without any buffering, drawing 14 mA of dc current from a 2.5-V power supply. A 12-GHz bipolar DVCO consuming 6 mA from a 2.5-V power supply is also demonstrated. It has a tuning range of 26% with a phase noise of -99 dBc/Hz at 600 kHz offset from the carrier 相似文献

An oscillator with a high-order (>2) resonator has multiple stable modes of oscillations. The stable modes for one such oscillator, having a fourth-order resonator, are found using a nonlinear analysis. By using a proper nonlinear active topology and tank component values, the fourth-order oscillator can generate either of the two distinct frequencies f1 or f2. A method is introduced to dynamically switch between the stable modes of oscillations. It is shown that the phase noise of this fourth-order oscillator, when generating only one of its resonant frequencies, is comparable to the phase noise of a second-order oscillator using the same active topology and resonator quality factor. Furthermore, the fourth-order oscillator has better phase noise and/or higher tuning range in VCO implementations compared to the commonly used switched resonator oscillators. The claims have been verified experimentally through an integrated oscillator prototype with f1 = 2.4 GHz and f2 = 4.7 GHz fabricated in a standard 0.18 mum CMOS technology. The oscillator draws 1.89 mA current of 1.8 V supply. The 1 MHz offset phase noises of the fourth-order oscillator for f1 = 2.4 GHz and f2 = 4.7 GHz are -122.4 dBc/Hz and -123.4 dBc/Hz, respectively 相似文献

To reduce phase noise degradation from oscillator tail current sources, this letter presents an inductor-capacitor voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) biased by triode metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors. The VCO system also includes an amplitude control loop and a voltage regulator to endure process, voltage, and temperature variations and to enhance power supply rejection ratio. Fabricated in a 0.18 mum CMOS process, the measured results show the adopted topology achieves a better phase noise than the conventional saturation current source. At 5.181 GHz, the VCO system demonstrates a phase noise of -104.8 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset, and -127.1 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset, while dissipating 4.2 mA from a 1.8 V supply voltage. The corresponding figures of merit at 100 kHz and 1 MHz offset are 190.3 and 192.6 dBc/Hz/mW, respectively. 相似文献

A new implementation of the injection locked technique is proposed. The incident signal is directly injected into the common-source connection node of the sub-harmonic oscillator instead of the gate of the tail current source, and a narrowband noise filtering network is inserted into the same node to suppress the tail current source noise. A novel quadrature oscillator with the proposed injection locked technique is presented. The simulations show that the phase noise of the quadrature oscillator is about 7 dB better than that of the stand-alone sub-harmonic oscillator. The quadrature oscillator has been implemented in 0.25 um CMOS process and the measured results show that the proposed quadrature oscillator could achieve a phase noise of −130 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 1.13 GHz carrier while only drawing an 8.0 mA current from the 2.5 V power supply. 相似文献
