  • We describe a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) which compensates the frequency variations for process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations with an accuracy of ${\pm}2.6%$ at 2.5 GHz. The DCO includes an 8 phase current-controlled ring oscillator, a digitally controlled current source (DCCS), a process and temperature (PT)-counteracting voltage regulator, and a bias current generator. The DCO operates at a center frequency of 2.5 GHz with a wide tuning range of 2.2 GHz to 3.0 GHz. At 2.8 GHz, the DCO achieves a phase noise of -112 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset. When it is implemented in an all-digital phase-locked loop (ADPLL), the ADPLL exhibits an RMS jitter of 8.9 ps and a peak to peak jitter of 77.5 ps. The proposed DCO and ADPLL are fabricated in 65 nm CMOS technology with supply voltages of 2.5 V and 1.0 V, respectively.

  • In this paper, we designed a new type of high frequency on-chip voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) using GaAs MESFET, and their performances were comapred with those of the conventional VCO. Each VCO was designed with three-to-five ring oscillator and inverter, buffer and NOR gate were implemented by GaAs source coupled FET logic, which has better speed and noise performance compared to other GaAs MESFET logic. SPICE simulation showed that the gain of conventional and our new VCO was 1.24[GHz/V], 0.54[GHz/V], respectively. The frquency tuning range were 2.31 to 3.55 [GHz] for conventional VCO and 2.47 to 3.01[GHz] for our new design. This shows that the factor of two gain reductin was achieved without too much sacrifice in the oscillation frequency. For our new VCO, the average temperature index was -2[MHz/.deg. C] in the range of -20~85[.deg. C] the power supply noise index was 5[MHz/%] for 5.3[V].+-.10[%] and total power consumption was 60.58[mW].

  • The implementation of a low phase noise voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is important for the signal integrity of wireless communication terminal. A low phase noise wideband VCO for a wireless local area network (WLAN) application is presented in this paper. A 6-bit coarse tune capacitor bank (capbank) and a fine tune varactor are used in the VCO to cover the target band. The simulated oscillation frequency tuning range is from 8.6 to 11.6 GHz. The proposed VCO is desgned using 65 nm CMOS technology with a high quality (Q) factor bondwire inductor. The VCO is biased with 1.8 V VDD and shows 9.7 mA current consumption. The VCO exhibits a phase noise of -122.77 and -111.14 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 8.6 and 11.6 GHz carrier frequency, respectively. The calculated figure of merit(FOM) is -189 dBC/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 8.6 GHz carrier. The simulated results show that the proposed VCO performance satisfies the required specification of WLAN standard.

  • This paper presents a wideband Colpitts voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) with nanosecond startup time and a center frequency of 8.35 GHz for a new bubble-type motion detector that has a bubble-layer detection zone at the specific distance from itself. The VCO circuit consists of two parts; one is a negative resistance part with a HEMT device and Colpitts feedback structure and the other is a resonator part with a varactor diode and shorted shunt microstrip line. The shorted shunt microstrip line and series capacitor are utilized to compensate for the input reactance of the packaged HEMT that changes from capacitive values to inductive values at 8.1 GHz due to parasitic package inductance. By tuning the feedback capacitors which determine negative resistance values, this paper also investigates startup time improvement with the negative resistance variation and tuning bandwidth improvement with the reactance slope variation of the negative resistance part. The VCO measurement shows the tuning bandwidth of 2.3 GHz(28 %), the output power of 4.1~7.5 dBm and the startup time of less than 2 nsec.
