A Low Phase Noise CMOS Ring Oscillator Using Phase Modulation and Pulse Injection Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a novel design of a ring oscillator (RO) producing eight phases output with accurate signal phase adjustment. By using the pulse injection technique, the RO phase noise has been strongly suppressed. In addition, a novel phase control technique is proposed for the implementation of the phase modulation. The proposed RO achieves a phase noise of -131.5 dBc/Hz @1MHz offset and FoM of -199.25 dBc/Hz. This RO consumes a 3.4 mW of power from a 1.8V power supply while having an oscillation frequency of 4.5 GHz and a locking range of 540 MHz in CMOS 0.18 um technology.

A 0.8-V CMOS Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) has been designed and fabricated by using a 0.13-μm 1p8m CMOS process. In the proposed PLL, the double-positive-feedbacks voltage-controlled oscillator (DPF-VCO) is used to generate current signals for the coupling current-mode injection-locked frequency divider (CCMILFD) and currentinjection current-mode logic (CICML) divider. A short-pulsed-reset phase fre...

This paper demonstrates a pulse width controlled PLL without using an LPF. A pulse width controlled oscillator accepts the PFD output where its pulse width controls the oscillation frequency. In the pulse width controlled oscillator, the input pulse width is converted into soft thermometer code through a time to soft thermometer code converter and the code controls the ring oscillator frequency...
متن کاملA Phase Noise Reduction Technique in LC Cross-coupled Oscillators with Adjusting Transistors Operating Regions
In this paper, an intuitive analysis of a phase noise reduction technique is done, and then a modified structure is proposed to achieve higher phase noise reduction than the original one. This method reduces the impact of noise sources on the phase noise by decreasing closed-loop gain in zero-crossings points and moving this high closed-loop gain to the non-zero-crossings points. This reduction...
