A differential coupled frequency doubling Colpitts oscillator is adopted to obtain low noise 2x frequency output. Wide tuning range and high lin- earity are simultaneously achieved by using MOS varactor arrays. The measurement results show that the designed VCXO-IC achieves -134 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 kHz offset frequency and 4-135 ppm output frequency tuning range within 3% linearity by using 40 MHz fundamental AT-cut crystal. The VCXO-IC is fabricated in the chartered 0.35/zm standard CMOS process and occupies a total silicon area of 2.4 mm2.展开更多
