RF CMOS Oscillators Design for autonomous Connected Objects

Simulation and Design of Rf Oscillators

– An accurate simulation and design was achieved with Computer-Aided-Engineering (CAE) of RF oscillators. Signal and phase noise modeling of all passiveand active components in the RF oscillator circuit is the prerequisite for accurate simulation. The design showed a very good agreement between simulated and measured data. The required modeling methods, the measurements, the used simulation tec...

Design Issues in CMOS Differential LC Oscillators

An analysis of phase noise in differential crosscoupled inductance–capacitance (LC) oscillators is presented. The effect of tail current and tank power dissipation on the voltage amplitude is shown. Various noise sources in the complementary cross-coupled pair are identified, and their effect on phase noise is analyzed. The predictions are in good agreement with measurements over a large range ...

CMOS Technology Characterization for Analog and RF Design

The design of analog and radio-frequency (RF) circuits in CMOS technology becomes increasingly more difficult as device modeling faces new challenges in deep submicrometer processes and emerging circuit applications. The sophisticated set of characteristics used to represent today’s “digital” technologies often proves inadequate for analog and RF design, mandating many additional measurements a...
