Abstract

In this paper, a novel coupled C type resonator is proposed for improvement of phase noise characteristics that is weak point of oscillator using planar type microstrip line resonator. Oscillator using proposed coupled C type resonator is designed, it has improved phase noise characteristics. At the fundamental frequency of 9.8GHz, 2.4dBm output power and -82.7 dBc@100kHz phase noise have been measured for oscillator with coupled C type resonator. The phase noise characteristics of oscillator is improved about 9.7dB compared to one using the general ${\lambda}/4$ microstrip resonator. Due to its simple fabrication process and planar type, it is expected that the technique in this paper can be widely used for low phase noise oscillators for both MIC and MMIC applications.

평면형 마이크로스트립 공진기를 이용한 고주파 발진기의 단점인 위상잡음 특성을 개선하기 위해 본 논문에서는 결합 C형 공진기를 제안하였다. 제안된 공진기를 이용하여 위상잡음 특성 개선 효과를 나타내기 위해 발진기를 설계하여, 9.8GHz 기본 주파수에서 2.4dBm의 출력과 -82.7 dBc@100kHz의 위상잡음 특성을 나타내었다. 이것은 ${\lambda}/4$ 마이크로스트립 공진기를 이용한 발진기와 비교하여 위상잡음 특성이 9.7dB 정도 개선되었다. 본 논문의 발진기는 평면형 구조로 쉬운 작업공정과 소형화 특성 때문에 MIC 또는 MMIC 분야의 설계에 응용될 수 있을 것이다.
