본 논문에서는 낮은 위상잡음과 고신뢰성을 갖는 전압제어 발진기를 비선형 설계하였으며 그 위상잡음을 Lesson식과 비교하여 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 전압제어 발진기의 위상잡음을 개선하기 위하여 유전체 공진기와 결합하는 마이크로 스트립 라인을 고임피던스 변환기를 이용함으로써 공진회로의 Q값이 그대로 능동소자에 전달되도록 하였다. 또한 worst case 해석 및 part stress 해석을 수행함으로써 전압제어 발진기의 신뢰도를 높였다. 제작된 전압제어 발진기는 0$\~$12 V의 제어전압에서 0.56 MHz/V의 튜닝대역을 가지고 있으며 160 mW의 DC 전력을 소모한다. 또한 -116.5 dBc/Hz @100KHz와 -96.51 dBc/Hz @10KHz의 우수한 위상잡음 특성과 7.33 dBm의 출력을 얻었다.

This paper presents the physiological signal processing CMOS one chip for transmitting human bodys small electrical signals such as electrocardiogram(EKG) or electromyogram(EMG) and the external system for receiving signals was implemented by the commercial ICs. For simultaneous four-subject four-channel telemetry, a new enfored synchronization techniqeu using infrared bi-directional communication has been proposed. The telemeter IC with the size of 5.1*5.1mm$^{2}$ has the following functions: receiving of command signal, initialization of internal state of all functional blocks, decoding of subject-selection signal, time multiplexing of 4-channel modulated physiological signals, transmitting of telemetry signal to external system and auto power down control. The newly designed synchronized oscillator with low supply voltage dependence in the telemeter IC operates at a supply voltage from 4.6~6.0V and the nonlinearity error of PIM modulator was less than 1.2%F.S(full scale). The power saving block operates at the period of 2.5ms even if the telemetry IC does not receive command signal from external system for a constant time.

In this paper, we present results of this that design of the multi-layer VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator), which is composed of the resonation circuit and the oscillation circuit, using EM simulator and nonlinear RF circuit simulator. EM simulator is used for acquiring EM(Electromagnetic) characteristics of conductor pattern as well as designing multi-layer VCO, Acquired EM characteristics of the circuit pattern was used like real components at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. Finally VCO is simulated at nonlinear RF circuit simulator. The material for the circuit pattern was Ag and the dielectric was DuPont #9599, which is applied for L TCC process. The structure is constructed with 4 conducting layer. Simulated results showed that the output level was about 1[dBm], the phase noise was 102 [dBc/Hz] at 30[kHz] offset frequency, the harmonics -8dBc, and the control voltage sensitivity of 30[MHz/V] with a DC current consumption of l0[mA]

In this paper, a new structure of fully differential delay cell VCO using quadrature phase for low phase noise and high speed operation is suggested. It is realized by inserting voltage clamp circuit into input pairs of delay cells that include three-control current source having high output impedance. In this reason. this newly designed delay cell for VCO has the low power supply sensitivity so that the phase noise can be reduced. The whole characteristics of VCO were simulated by using HSPICE and SABER. Simulation results show that the phase noise of new VCO is quite small compared with conventional fully differential delay cell VCO and ring oscillator type VCO. It is also very beneficial to low power supply design because of wide tuning range.

DC/DC converters are commonly used to generate regulated DC output voltages with high-power efficiencies from different DC input sources. The converters can be applied in the regenerative braking of DC motors to return energy back to the supply, resulting in energy savings for the systems at periodic intervals. The fundamental converter studied here consists of an IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar mode Transistor), an inductor, a capacitor, a diode, a PWM-IC (Pulse Width Modulation Integrated Circuit) controller with oscillator, amplifier, and comparator. The PWM-IC is a core element and delivers the switching waveform to the gate of the IGBT in a stable manner. Display of the DC/DC converter output depends on the IGBT's changes in the threshold voltage and PWM-IC's pulse width. The simulation was conducted by PSIM software, and the hardware of the DC/DC converter was also implemented. It is necessary to study the fact that the output voltage depends on the duty rate of D, and to compare the output of experimental result with the theory and the simulation.

In this paper, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with automatic amplitude control is designed using a 0.35${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS process. A cross-coupled PMOS pair is used for a negative resistance to compensate for the losses in the LC resonator, and an automatic\ulcorner amplitude control function is adapted to provide constant output power independent of the Q-factor of the LC resonator. The designed VCO operates in the 200MHz to 550MHz frequency range using different external resonators. The simulated phase noise is -128 dBc/Hz at 100KHz offset from the carrier frequency of 260MHz. It dissipates 0.㎽ from a 3V power supply. The area is 300${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ x1201${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

This paper presents a wide band, fine-resolution digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) with an on-chip 3-D solenoid inductor using the 0.13 ${\mu}m$ digital CMOS process. The on-chip solenoid inductor is vertically constructed by using Metal and Via layers with a horizontal scalability. Compared to a spiral inductor, it has the advantage of occupying a small area and this is due to its 3-D structure. To control the frequency of the DCO, active capacitor and active inductor are tuned digitally. To cover the wide tuning range, a three-step coarse tuning scheme is used. In addition, the DCO gain needs to be calibrated digitally to compensate for gain variations. The DCO with solenoid inductor is fabricated in 0.13 ${\mu}m$ process and the die area of the solenoid inductor is 0.013 $mm^2$. The DCO tuning range is about 54 % at 4.1 GHz, and the power consumption is 6.6 mW from a 1.2 V supply voltage. An effective frequency resolution is 0.14 kHz. The measured phase noise of the DCO output at 5.195 GHz is -110.61 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset.
