A 58.9—73.7-GHz Quadrature Dual-Core Class-F3,5 Oscillator with Tail-Assisted Implicit Quintupling

A 58.9—73.7-GHz Quadrature Dual-Core Class-F3,5 Oscillator with Tail-Assisted Implicit Quintupling 150 150

Abstract:

We introduce a new class-F3,5 oscillator topology that enables quadrature operation by duplicating a conventional class-F3 oscillator core and electro-magnetically coupling the two cores through a pair of additional coils feeding source terminals of the gm transistors. The coupling network enhances the 5th-harmonic component, enabling efficient extraction and quadrature operation …

A Pseudo-Series Resonance CMOS Oscillator

A Pseudo-Series Resonance CMOS Oscillator 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents a single-core, low-phase-noise (PN) digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) employing a pseudo-series resonance (pseudo-SR) technique with a transformer-based resonator. The proposed pseudo-SR resonator offers two key advantages: 1) a low impedance with a 180° phase shift at the impedance pole, emulating series resonance (SR) to enable single-stage oscillation and reduce …
