基于TSMC 0.18μm RFCMOS工艺,设计并实现了一个宽带低功耗低相位噪声的高性能压控振荡器(VCO).为实现1.3~2.2 GHz调谐范围,VCO采用7‐bit(128根调谐曲线)固定电容阵列,同时也获得了超低的增益,降低了相位噪声.为弱化宽调谐范围带来的增益波动,VCO采用3‐bit可变电容阵列来提升低带曲线的斜率,以期与高带一致.为实现每根曲线的宽线性范围,可变电容采用分布式偏置电压技术.为降低相位噪声,还提出了一种输出零偏置架构以及电流源噪声滤除技术.测试结果表明,调谐电压的线性范围为0.2~1.6 V ;VCO输出频率范围为1.3~2.17 GHz ;高带调谐曲线叠合超过50%,低带超过80%;VCO增益仅为19 M Hz/V ;增益波动范围为13~25 M Hz/V .当振荡频率为1312 M Hz ,1 M Hz 频偏处相位噪声为-116.53 dBc/Hz ;当振荡频率为2152 M Hz ,1 M Hz频偏处相噪为-112.78 dBc/Hz .VCO功耗电流为1.2~3.2 mA ,电源电压为1.8 V .提出的VCO既能提供51%的频率覆盖,又能实现低相位噪声,已经被成功应用于工业自动化无线传感网(WIA )射频收发机芯片中. 相似文献

Differential tuning in oscillators allows cancellation of common-mode bias noise and lower tuning sensitivity with respect to the most conventional single-ended tuning. However, the direct application of differential tuning increases the capacitor non-linearity and the flicker-induced phase noise. This paper analyzes quantitatively this phenomenon and proposes a novel configuration, which includes all the benefits of differential tuning with no penalty on phase noise. This circuit is fabricated in a 0.35-m CMOS technology together with a single-end-tuned oscillator and both cover the 2.0–2.4 GHz frequency range. The measured 1/f3 phase noise at 10 kHz offset is –71 dBc/Hz, which outperforms the companion single-end tuning oscillator by 10 dB.A.L.

A method to provide a low power tunable inductor is presented in which the inductance and its equivalent series resistance can be independently tuned. This equivalent series resistance can be also set to negative or zero value that is corresponding to inductor with ideal quality factor. In this method, a varactor is placed in parallel with a passive inductor and then, an active capacitor is placed in series with them. To this end, a low power Tunable Active Capacitor (TAC) is proposed which is capable of generating tunable capacitor and large negative resistance to compensate the loss of tunable inductor circuit. Also, the power consumption is low because of using a diode-connected transistor. A prototype of the proposed circuit is designed and simulated at 4 GHz. The electromagnetic simulation results show the inductance tuning range of 0.48–2.3nH with zero or even negative equivalent series resistance is obtained while the power dissipation is less than 3 mW. Moreover, noise analysis shows that higher inductance translates to lower noise while there is a weak correlation between noise and quality factor of the obtained inductances. 相似文献

A fully integrated floating active inductor based voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is presented. The active inductor employs voltage differencing transconductance amplifier (VDTA) as a building block. The designed VCO achieves frequency tuning by varying the bias current through the VDTA and utilizes a Class-C topology for improving the phase noise performance. The inductor-less VCO is designed and implemented in a 45-nm CMOS process and its performance is estimated using Virtuoso ADE of Cadence. Operating at a supply voltage of ±1 V, the proposed VCO consumes 0.44–1.1 mW corresponding to the oscillation frequency of 1.1–1.8 GHz thereby exhibiting a tuning range of 48.27%. The phase noise of the VCO lies in the range of −94.12 to −98.37 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset resulting in a FOM of −172.14 to −176.69 dBc/Hz. 相似文献

This paper reports a 94 GHz CMOS voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using both the negative capacitance (NC) technique and series-peaking output power and phase noise (PN) enhancement technique. NC is achieved by adding two variable LC networks to the source nodes of the active circuit of the VCO. NMOSFET varicaps are adopted as the required capacitors of the LC networks. In comparison with the conventional one, the proposed active circuit substantially decreases the input capacitance (Cin) to zero or even a negative value. This leads to operation (or oscillation) frequency (OF) increase and tuning range (TR) enhancement of the VCO. The VCO dissipates 8.3 mW at 1 V supply. The measured TR of the VCO is 91~96 GHz, close to the simulated (92.1~96.7 GHz) and the calculated one (92.2~98.2 GHz). In addition, at 1 MHz offset from 95.16 GHz, the VCO attains an excellent PN of – 98.3 dBc/Hz. This leads to a figure-of-merit (FOM) of ?188.5 dBc/Hz, a remarkable result for a V- or W-band CMOS VCO. The chip size of the VCO is 0.75 × 0.42 mm2, i.e. 0.315 mm2. 相似文献
