摘要
A 4. 224GHz quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO) applied in MB-OFDM UWB synthesizers is implemented in 0.18μm RF-CMOS technology. An improved structure of the QVCO is presented for better phase noise. A novel configuration of a MOS varactor is designed for good linearity of K as well as a new digital capacitor controlled array topology with lower parasitic capacitance and lower Ron. Measurement results show a phase noise of - 90.4dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and - 116.7dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from a carrier close to 4. 224GHz. The power dissipation is 10. 55mW from a 1.8V supply.
设计了一种应用于MB-OFDM UWB射频频率综合器的工作于4 .224GHz的正交压控振荡器( QVCO) ,并采用0.18μm RF-CMOS工艺进行了设计实现.该QVCO通过改进结构能够得到更好的相位噪声.通过改变MOS变容管的接入方法实现了更好的压控增益线性度,并采用了新的低寄生电容、低导通电阻的数控电容阵列结构来补偿工艺变化带来的频率变化.测试结果表明,该QV-CO在4.224GHz附近的100kHz频偏处的相位噪声为-90.4dBc/ Hz ,1 MHz频偏处的相位噪声为-116.7dBc/ Hz ,整个QVCO电路功耗为10.55 mW,电源电压为1.8 V.
