摘要:
A method and system are provided for reducing mismatch between oscillators in an LC VCO array. In an implementation, a method comprises measuring the mismatch between the driver strengths, by measuring the corresponding oscillation amplitudes, and a mismatch between the resonance frequency of each LC VCO in the array of VCOs, and adjusting each LC VCO to reduce the measured amplitude and frequency mismatches. In an implementation, the measuring and adjusting is performed once to calibrate the array of VCOs. In another implementation, the system measures and adjusts the array of VCOs repeatedly. In another implementation, the LC VCO array has a master VCO and a plurality of slave VCOs connected to the master VCO by slave PLLs to reduce phase noise caused by mismatches.
