초록

본 논문에서는 스위치드 본드와이어 인덕터 뱅크를 사용하여, 넓은 주파수 튜닝범위를 갖는 다중대역 저잡음 CMOS 전압제어발진기가 제안되었다. 본드와이어 인덕터와 CMOS 스위치의 결합으로 주파수 튜닝범위는 증가하고, 위상잡음은 개선되었다. 제안된 다중대역 CMOS 전압제어발진기는 2.3GHz부터 6.3GHz까지의 주파수에 대해 동작하며, 위상잡음은 1MHz 오프셋 주파수에 대해, 각각 -136dBc/Hz와 -122dBc/Hz를 나타내었다. 스위치드 본드와이어 인덕터 뱅크는 각 주파수 대역에서 높은 Quality factor(Q)를 나타내어, 위상잡음과 전력소모량 사이의 trade-off를 더욱 원활하게 해 준다. 제안된 전압제어발진기는 TSMC 0.18um CMOS공정을 사용하여 설계되었고, 7.2mW의 전력을 사용하며, 6GHz 발진주파수에 대해 1MHz 오프셋 주파수에서 -189.3dBC/Hz의 성능지수(FOM)를 나타내었다.

This paper presents a multiband low phase noise CMOS VCO with wide frequency tunability using switched bondwire inductor bank. The combination of bondwire inductor and CMOS switch transistor enhances frequency tunability and improves phase noise characteristics. The proposed multiband VCO operates from 2.3GHz to 6.3GHz with phase noise of -136dBc/Hz and -122dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency, respectively. Switched bondwire inductor bank shows high quality factor(Q) at each frequency band, which allows better tradeoff between phase noise and power consumption. The proposed VCO is designed in TSMC 0.18um CMOS process and consumes 7.2 mW power resulting in figure of merit(FOM) of -189.3dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 6GHz carrier frequency.
