Outline • Introduction • PHASE NOISE IN CROSS-COUPLED LC VCO • MEASUREMENT AND DISCUSSION • CONCLUSION
Introduction • phase noise for integrated complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) voltage controlled oscillators (VCO) is an essential topic of research. • The feasible design procedure and structure to obtain the low phase noise is still in progress .
Varactor the PMOS is used because of the wide tuning capability and low phase noise. • But the quality factor of the tank is still limited mainly by the performance of the inductor
A symmetric waveform is helpful to get the lower 1/f 3corner in phase noise.
MEASUREMENT AND DISCUSSION (1) phase noise is demonstrated with 116 dBc/Hz at 600 kHz offset
=(-116)+10log[(600 X 106 / 2]2 X22.626 =-172.91(dBc)
COMPARISON WITH SOME REPORTED PAPERS BASING ON THE SAME STRUCTURE AND RELATED TECHNOLOGY
CONCLUSION • From the procedure of optimization steps, the excess noise factor of the amplifier coming from the active device has been determined. The oscillator is implemented by the standard 0.35- m CMOS technology with phase noise 116 dBc/Hz at 600 kHz offset.
