A low phase noise silicon 18-GHz push-push VCO 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The design and measurement of a push-push voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) at 18.66-18.3 GHz are presented in this paper. The circuit includes two packaged silicon transistors (Siemens BFP 540F) and a microstrip resonator tuned by two GaAs varactor diodes (M/A-COM ML46580). A 360-MHz tuning range is obtained with an output power of 0-3.1 dBm. The fundamental rejection is around 17 dB for a wide range of collector bias current. The phase noise is below -103 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset and below -122 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz for the entire tuning bandwidth. 相似文献

A PLL technique is introduced that enables fast and accurate frequency switching, independent of the loop bandwidth. It uses separate tuning paths, each driving a separate VCO tune port. Different frequencies are produced by letting the VCO make different weighted combinations of the stable tuning voltages. The PLL converges to the stable tuning voltages by switching it a few times between the desired frequencies and tuning paths. Once the stabilized tuning voltages are found, one can switch between frequencies as fast as one can switch between K/sub VCO/s. The technique is applied to a 3.5-GHz integer-N PLL to enable fast jumping of the local oscillator (LO) frequency when an 802.11 transceiver is switched between a low and a zero intermediate frequency (LIF/ZIF). It uses dual phase/frequency detectors (PFD), charge pumps (CPs), and on-chip loop filters to control two separate low-leakage VCO tune ports. Each PFD/tune port combination can be (de)activated separately, without disturbing the loop filters' charge. The 50-kHz bandwidth PLL achieves a measured 7-MHz jump with /spl plusmn/20 kHz accuracy within 6 /spl mu/s. The measured phase noise is -123 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset. 相似文献

A millimeter-wave IC dielectric resonator oscillator (DRO) is proposed. Equations that give the resonant frequency of the dielectric resonator DR in suspended stripline (SSL) are derived. A U -band voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with varactor tuning also has been developed. The Gunn diode and varactor used in both of the oscillators are commercially available packaged devices. Restrictions on the performance of the oscillators imposed by packaged and mounted networks and the self-characteristics of the solid-state devices have been analyzed. An electronic tuning range greater than 1000 MHz with an output power exceeding 15 dBm across the bandwidth in the 53-GHz region has been realized for the SSL VCO. An SSL DRO with an output power of more than 17 dBm and a mechanical tuning range of 1.5 GHz in the 54-GHz region has been achieved 相似文献

A silicon bipolar IC for data regeneration and clock recovery which includes a phase/frequency detector (PFD), a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), and an MS D-flipflop (DFF) is presented. The VCO is based on a modified two stage ring oscillator approach and presents a wide tuning range of 2-to-9 GHz. Data regeneration at 8 Gb/s (with the onchip VCO) and PFD operation up to 15 Gb/s (with an external VCO) are demonstrated. The IC for clock and data regeneration was fabricated with a 25 GHz fT 0.4 μm emitter width bipolar process. The power dissipation is 2.25 W 相似文献

This paper reports on what is believed to be the highest frequency bipolar voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) so far reported. The W-band VCO is based on a push-push oscillator topology, which employs InP HBT technology with peak fT's and fmax's of 75 and 200 GHz, respectively. The W-band VCO produces a maximum oscillating frequency of 108 GHz and delivers an output power of +0.92 dBm into 50 Ω. The VCO also obtains a tuning bandwidth of 2.73 GHz or 2.6% using a monolithic varactor. A phase noise of -88 dBc/Hz and -109 dBc/Hz is achieved at 1- and 10-MHz offsets, respectively, and is believed to be the lowest phase noise reported for a monolithic W-band VCO. The push-push VCO design approach demonstrated in this work enables higher VCO frequency operation, lower noise performance, and smaller size, which is attractive for millimeter-wave frequency source applications 相似文献

The analysis methods for the steady-state responses of the voltage tuning negative resistance oscillator (voltage-controlling oscillator, VCO) by the microwave nonlinear autonomous circuit harmonic balance method in millimeter-wave bands are studied in the paper. Firstly, the quasi-periodic characteristic of the steady-state response of the VCO modulated by a periodic signal is proved. Then, on the bases of the harmonic balance analysis and the inter-modulation balance analysis, a novel method for obtaining the steady-state tuning performance and the nonlinear frequency-modulation distortion characteristic of the VCO is presented. The total analysis process is aimed to a kind of NRD-guide Gunn diode VCO. The large-signal lumped equivalent circuit model of the millimeter-wave P+N-junction varactor is also given for explaining the algorithm and the principle of the NRD-guide VCO. 相似文献

This letter presents the design and implementation of the largest reported bandwidth of a 60 GHz up/down converter with an integrated voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in a low-cost 0.18 mum silicon-germanium process. The up/down conversion is achieved using the 2X sub-harmonic passive mixing with anti-parallel diode pairs. A 30 GHz cross-coupled VCO is designed, optimized and integrated with the sub-harmonic mixer through a cascode amplifier to meet the local oscillator power requirements. The fully integrated chip takes only 1.5 mm2 of silicon die area and consumes only 40 mW of dc power for a measured conversion loss of 12 dB at 61.5 GHz. The integrated up/down converter is measured to have greater than 9 GHz double-sided 3-dB RF bandwidth suitable for wideband high data-rate WPAN transceiver requirements. The VCO and VCO-amplifier test structures are separately fabricated and measured to have a phase noise as low as -105 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset with a tuning range of 2.3 GHz. 相似文献

A low phase noise with wide tuning range complementary LC cross-coupled voltage control oscillator (LC-VCO) using 0.18 μm CMOS technology is presented. This paper proposes a design formula for the choice of the value of varactor (ΔCvar) and band switch capacitor (Cs) for the binary-weighted band-switching LC tank which is convenient to determine the proper tuning constant for wideband, low-phase-noise operations. This general formula considers the ratio of frequency overlap (ov) and all the parasitic effects from band-switching capacitor array and transistors. The designed VCO using a 4-bit band-switching capacitor array demonstrates the operating frequencies from 4.166 to 5.537 GHz with an equivalent tuning bandwidth of 28.26%. The measured tuning range of all sub-bands is well agreed with that of the post-layout simulation results. The measured phase noise is −123.1 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset in the 5.2 GHz band. The calculated figure-of-merit (FoM) of this VCO was as high as −187 dB. When considering the tuning bandwidth the designed VCO obtains a FoM-bandwidth product of 52.83, which is much better than previously published works. 相似文献

A pseudo-exponential capacitor bank structure is proposed to implement a wide-band CMOS LC voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with linearized coarse tuning characteristics. An octave bandwidth VCO employing the proposed 6-bit pseudo-exponential capacitor bank structure has been realized in 0.18-mum CMOS. Compared to a conventional VCO employing a binary weighted capacitor bank, the proposed VCO has considerably reduced the variations of the VCO gain (K VCO) and the frequency step per a capacitor bank code (f step/code) by 2.7 and 2.1 times, respectively, across the tuning range of 924-1850 MHz. Measurement results have also shown that the VCO provides the phase noise of - 127.1 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset for 1.752-GHz output frequency while dissipating 6 mA from a 1.8-V supply. 相似文献

A Ku-band CMOS voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) constructed in a modified current-reused configuration is presented in this letter. Two dc level shifters combined into two metal-insulator-metal capacitors are adopted to solve the transconductance and load mismatch problems of the conventional current-reused VCO for obtaining more symmetrical oscillation signals and lowering the phase noise of oscillator. A prototype was designed and measured to verify the design concept. The measurement results demonstrate the central oscillation signal of 16 GHz to be associated with the 900 MHz tuning range and -111 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz offset. The power consumption of the VCO core is only 8.1 mW. The measurement result evaluated by means of a figure of merit is about -186.8 dBc/Hz. 相似文献

Design and performance of a robust 180 nm CMOS standalone VCO and the integrated PLL 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

The design details of a low power/wide tuning range phase locked loop (PLL) is presented in 180 nm CMOS together with the
simulated and post fabrication measured performance. The PLL has been specifically designed for applications requiring a wide
tuning range (1.55–2.28 GHz) while maintaining low power consumption (18 mW) and good phase noise (−100.9 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz).
The tuning range represents significant improvement over other reported PLL CMOS implementations. To illustrate the robustness
of the architecture, a 90 nm CMOS design is included with a 5.8–9.45 GHz tuning range (48%), phase noise of −111.7 dBc/Hz,
and power consumption of 18.6 mW. The stand alone voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and the PLL were fabricated on a single
180 nm die providing a unique opportunity to analyze and measure both the stand alone VCO phase noise performance and the
integrated PLL phase noise performance. The contributions to the PLL phase noise (phase detector, charge pump, VCO, divider,
and reference source) are delineated and both the theoretical and measured PLL phase noise performance is discussed. Design
tradeoffs are included such as effect of loop bandwidth on phase noise contributions. 相似文献
