In this paper, A VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator) in use of clock recovery/data regeneration circuit for 10 Gbps fiber optic receivers was developed. The improved hair-pin resonator with a parallel coupled lines, which has been applied to microstrip filters, was used as a resonance part. As a frequcncy tuning device by substituting 3-terminalMESFET vaaractor for varactor diode, an MMIC manufacturing process will be simplified. Since a hair-pin resonator is planar type compared to the dielectric resonator and has a relatively flat reactance verus frequency, it will be favorable to apply a hair-pin resonator to an MMIC, in addition wideband frequency tuning range is able to be obtained.

In this paper a 2.4GHz CMOS colpitts type microwave oscillator was designed and fabricated using H-spice and Cadence Spetre. There are 140MHz difference between the oscillation frequency and the resonance frequency of a tank circuit of the designed oscillator. The difference is seemed to be due to the parasitic component of the transistor. The inductors used in this design are the spiral inductors proposed in other papers. Cascode current source was used as a bias circuit of a oscillator and the output transistor of the current source is used as the oscillation transistor. A common drain buffer amplifier was used at the output of the oscillator. The measured oscillation frequency and output power of the oscillator are 2.173GHz and -5.53dBm.

In this paper, we developed a local oscillator (LO) system of millimeter wave band receiver for radio astronomy observation. We measured the phase and amplitude drift stability of this LO system. The voltage control oscillator (VCO) of this LO system use the 3 mm band Gunn oscillator. We developed the digital phase locked loop (DPLL) module for the LO PLL function that can be computer-controlled. To verify the performance, we measured the output frequency/power and the phase/amplitude drift stability of the developed module and the commercial PLL module, respectively. We show the good performance of the LO system based on the developed PLL module from the measured data analysis. The test results and discussion will be useful tutorial reference to design the LO system for very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) receiver and single dish radio astronomy receiver at the 3 mm frequency band.

A Ku-band Push-push VCO for low cost applications is proposed. The proposed push-push oscillator achieves a wide tuning range in Ku-band by the collector bias tuning instead of extra varactor diodes. The measurement shows a wide tuning range of 900MHz, fundamental suppression of -30dBc and good phase noise of -115dBc@1MHz offset.

For CMOS technology of 65 nm and beyond, the gate leakage current can not be negligible anymore. In this paper, the impact of the gate leakage current in ring voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) on phase-locked loop (PLL) is analyzed and modeled. A voltage -to-voltage (V-to-V) circuit is proposed to reduce the voltage ripple on $V_{ctrl}$ induced by the gate leakage current. The side effects induced by the V-to-V circuit are described and optimized either. The PLL design is based on a standard 65 nm CMOS technology with a 1.8 V power supply. Simulation results show that 97 % ripple voltage is smoothed at 216 MHz output frequency. The RMS and peak-to-peak jitter are 3 ps and 14.8 ps, respectively.

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${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

One of the major reasons for not integrating a VCO on one-chip in a PLL (phase locked loop) system is the large chip-to-chip variation of the VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) center frequency. In this thesis, a simple bias technique is proposed to compensate the process fluctuation. The proposed bias technique is applied to the VCO and it reduces the deviation of the VCO center frequency from 35% to 8 %. With the suggested bias technique, a 400 MHz frequency synthesizer is designed for general purpose. It utilizes a programmable divider for various division ratio. The design methodology provides the possibility of the one-chip solution for a PLL system.

In order to widen the tuning range, capacitive degeneration is applied to fully CMOS LC VCOs. Small signal analysis shows that the fixed MOSFET capacitance seen by the LC tank is smaller than that of the traditional LC VCO, resulting in significant extension in the tuning range. This improvement in the tuning range has been verified through measurement of a 10-GHz LC VCO fabricated by $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS process. The measured tuning range is from 9.8-GHz to 12-GHz, which is better than those of the reported CMOS LC VCOs in 10-GHz band. The measured phase noise is - 103dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset.
