Abstract

There are several factors that have influence on the phase noise of an oscillator. But one of the major factors is the flicker noise of a transistor, since the phase noise of an oscillator is generated by mixing the carrier with the low frequency noise near the DC having the characteristic of 1/f. In this paper, we have presented a method on reducing the phase noise of an oscillator by using a low-frequency feedback circuit based on an active bias circuit, and have fabricated a DRO for a DBS receiver. Measurement results show that the phase noise is -92 dBc/Hz at the 10 KHz offset frequency, and from these results we have found out that the reduction method is very effective.

발진기의 위상잡음에 영향윤 주는 요인은 여러 가지가 있다. 그러나 발진기의 위상잡음은 주로 캐리어(carrier)와 l/f의 특성을 잦는 DC 근처 저주파 잡음과의 혼합으로 발생되므로, 저주파 플리커 잡음에 의해 지배된다. 본 논문에서는 능동 바이어스 회로로 구현된 저주파 궤환회로를 이용하여 플리커 잡음의 영향을 최소화함으로써 발진기의 위상잡음을 줄이는 기법을 제안하고, DBS 수신기에 사용 가능한 DRO를 제작하였다. 제작된 DRO의 위상잡음을 측정한 갤과 10 kHz 옵셋 주파수에서 약 -92 dBc/Hz로 제안된 방볍이 상당히 효과적임을 확인 하였다
