摘要:
The present invention provides a current controlled oscillator comprising a first section providing a first differential output and a second section providing a second differential output. A loading structure comprised of resistive and reactive elements electrically connects the first differential output with the second differential output. The resistive and reactive elements have values chosen such that the resistive elements substantially extend the linear operating frequency range of the current controlled oscillator. Transistors of the loading structure have which are tied to a power supply rejection ratio compensation section for compensating for variations in power supply voltage.

A phase interpolation voltage controlled oscillator includes a plurality of n phase shifting cells (A) and n-1 levels of summing cells (S). The phase shifting cells (A) receive a common input signal and each shifts the input signal a different amount than the other phase shifting cells (A). A summing cell (S) of the first level receives and sums the outputs of at least two phase shifting cells (A), and each remaining level of summing cells receives outputs of a previous level of summing cells (S). The last level contains a single summing cell (S) which produces an output signal that is fed back as the common input signal of the phase shifting cells (A).

A transmitter having an integratable quadrature oscillator network for simultaneously producing a sine wave and a cosine wave. The digital direction of rotation (whether the frequency is positive or negative) input is slow rate limited (R, C3) and fed into a low gm transconductor (MOS1, MOS2) to softly switch between two pairs of transconductor amplifiers (TR1, TR2 and TR3, TR4) which together with two capacitors (C1, C2) form quadrature oscillators of opposite direction of rotation. By softly switching the quadrature oscillators out-of-band emissions are minimised in a subsequent mixing with a carrier signal to generate a frequency modulated signal.

A gyrator includes shunt or feedback nodal capacitors and shunt lossy inductors without shunt load resistors. The effective nodal capacitance is reduced by the introduction of the shunt lossy inductors. The inductors act to discriminate against injected power supply noise, resulting in improved oscillator phase noise. The inductors produce less dc voltage drop than the resistive load, so that larger linear oscillation is obtained with improved oscillator phase noise. The gyrator includes an automatic gain control circuit and a tuning control circuit which are separate from each other and fast and slow acting control loops which are augmented with each other.

An oscillator arrangement is described which includes the series coupling of first (OTA1,C1) and second (OTA2,C2) integrator circuit, an output signal provided at an output of the second integrator circuit (OTA2,C2) being negatively fed back to an input of the first integrator circuit (OTA1,C1). The input impedance of the integrator circuit (OTA1,C1/OTA2,C2) have a negative value, whereby losses due to finite output resistances of the integrator circuit are compensated thereby providing a high quality factor.
摘要:
A clamped linear transconductance amplifier path, consisting essentially of a current clamp (M23) merged in a linear transconductance amplifier (M23, M21,M22) path, is used in a triple-input, single-output transconductor (200). In a balanced transconductor in CMOS technology, this clamped linear transconductance amplifier path is formed by a p-channel MOS transistor (M23) separately connected in series with each of a matched pair of p-channel MOS transistors (M21, M22). The clamped linear transconductance amplifier path, together with two other transconductance paths (M15-M20; M9-M14), can be interconnected to form the input side of the triple-input, single-output transconductor (200). By summing and integrating the outputs of the input side of the triple-input transconductor (200), the output (VOUT,P and VOUT,N) of the output side of the transconductor can be formed. By feeding back this output to the input side of the transconductor (200), an oscillator can obtained.
