This study derives the asymptotic phase noise formula of the oscillators perturbed by the colored noises. Based on the derived formula, this study presents a sub-1V series-tuned differential Colpitts VCO. The ADS simulation result on the phase noise shows that the presented VCO exhibits about 3dBc/Hz lower phase noise at the 1MHz offset frequency from the oscillation frequency of 4.8GHz than the existing series-tuned differential Colpitts VCO with the inductor current sources.

In this paper, E-plane gap-coupled rectangular microstrip antennas with parasitic elements are analyzed. The mutual coupling between the radiating edges is represented as the voltage-dependent current source. The gap coupling between the patch and parasitic element is characterized with the REC(Radiating Edges-Coupling) model, and the conventional transmission line model is used to obtain the equivalent circuit of the antenna. The return loss of the rectangular microstrip antennas with short-and open-circuit parasitic elements are calculated and compared with the measured values. The theoretical values including the mutual coupling are more in agreement with the measured values than the calculated values without the mutual coupling.
