摘要:
Disclosed is a circuit system generating a reference current (Iref) and an oscillator circuit which comprises said circuit system and a capacitor (8) that is connected to the input of a voltage-controlled source of electric power (1). Said capacitor (8) is triggered by two inter-switchable amplifiers (4, 6) with different driving capacities (gm1, gm2). According to said principle, an LC oscillator (14), for example, can be electrically controlled while being fed with the reference current (Iref) at a particularly low noise level.

Le circuit de correction comprend un premier comparateur de phases à quadrature (7,9) prévu pour recevoir en entrée deux signaux (I,Q) dont on voudrait qu'ils soient en quadrature et d'amplitudes égales. Des moyens d'ajustement de la phase sont tout d'abord prévus pour corriger la phase d'au moins un des signaux pour rétablir un déphasage de 90° entre ceux-ci. Le circuit de correction comprend, de plus, des moyens (13,15) pour effectuer la somme et la différence des sigaux (I,Q) qu'il reçoit en entrée et pour fournir cette somme et cette différence à un deuxième comparateur de phases à quadrature (17,19) prévu pour fournir en sortie un deuxième signal d'erreur représentatif de l'écart entre le déphasage effectif de ces signaux calculés et 90°. Le deuxième signal d'erreur est, finalement fourni à des moyens d'ajustement d'amplitude (60,66) prévus pour corriger l'amplitude d'au moins un desdits signaux (I,Q).

Voltage-controlled oscillation (100) is described. In an apparatus therefor, an inductor (120) has a tap and has or is coupled to a positive-side output node (105) and a negative side output node (106). The tap is coupled to receive a first current. A coarse grain capacitor array (130) is coupled to the positive-side output node (105) and the negative side output node (106) and is coupled to respectively receive select signals (168). A varactor (140) is coupled to the positive-side output node (105) and the negative side output node (106) and is coupled to receive a control voltage (143). The varactor (140) includes MuGFETs (141, 142). A transconductance cell (150) is coupled to the positive- side output node (105) and the negative side output node (106), and the transconductance cell (150) has a common node (107). A frequency scaled resistor network (160) is coupled to the common node (107) and is coupled to receive the select signals (168) for a resistance for a path for a second current.

An oscillation circuit including first and second voltage-controlled oscillators (VC01, VC02) each having a resonance circuit including a pair of varactor diodes (61, 62, 71, 72), and first and second buffer amplifiers (BAMP1, BAMP2) for feeding-back high frequency signals generated from the first and second voltage-controlled oscillators (VC01, VC02) to the second and first voltage-controlled oscillators (VC02, VC01), respectively. A control voltage (Vc) is applied to the varactor diodes (61, 62, 71, 72) to generate output high frequency signals having a same frequency and a mutual phase difference of 90 degrees from the first and second voltage-controlled oscillators (VC01, VC02). By adjusting an amplitude of the control voltage (Vc), resonant points of the resonance circuits of the first and second voltage-controlled oscillators (VC01, VC02) are changed and the frequency of the output high frequency signals is changed, while phase noise can be sufficiently suppressed over a wide frequency range and a power consumption can be lowered.
摘要:
An RF oscillator (10) is disclosed that can be tuned to operate over a wide range of frequencies while maintaining advantageous bias conditions. The oscillator includes circuitry (32) that adjusts an oscillator bias signal in response to changes in oscillator frequency and/or ambient temperature, and does so without resort to using the same signal for both bias and frequency control. By so doing, both the frequency range and temperature range of an oscillator can be extended, while simultaneously improving the oscillator's performance.

The system may comprise a tank circuit having an inductor, at least a first coupling capacitor and a second coupling capacitor. The system may further comprise a varactor circuit electrically connected to the first coupling capacitor and the second coupling capacitor. The system may further comprise at least one first metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device electrically connected in shunt with the tank circuit and a bias voltage. The at least one first MOS device may be electrically connected to a first gate bias voltage configured to bias the at least one first MOS device such that a first gate-to-source voltage of the at least one first MOS device remains below the first threshold voltage.
