    Abstract: A radio receiver supporting cancellation of thermal and phase noise in a down-converted RF signal. An inbound RF signal and blocking signal are provided directly to a passive mixer for down-conversion into a first baseband signal having data, thermal noise, and reciprocal mixing (RM) noise components. The inbound signals are also provided to a transconductance circuit, the output of which is provided to a second passive mixer for conversion into a current signal having data and blocking signal components, and a RM image. The blocking signal component and the RM image are mixed with a second LO signal, derived from the blocking signal, to produce a RM noise cancellation signal. The data component of the current signal is converted into a second baseband signal having data and thermal noise components. The first baseband signal, second baseband signal and RM noise cancellation signal are then combined through harmonic recombination.

    Abstract: A circuit for an oscillator with common-mode resonance includes a first oscillator circuit and a second oscillator circuit coupled to the first oscillator circuit. Each of the first oscillator circuit or the second oscillator circuit includes a tank circuit, a cross-coupled transistor pair, and one or more capacitors. The tank circuit is formed by coupling a first inductor with a pair of first capacitors. The cross-coupled transistor pair is coupled to the tank circuit, and one or more second capacitors are coupled to the tank circuit and the cross-coupled transistor pair. Each of the first oscillator circuit or the second oscillator circuit allows tuning of a respective common mode (CM) resonance frequency (FCM) to be at twice a respective differential resonance frequency (FD).

    Abstract: A circuit for a single differential-inductor oscillator with common-mode resonance may include a tank circuit formed by coupling a first inductor with a pair of first capacitors; a cross-coupled transistor pair coupled to the tank circuit; and one or more second capacitors coupled to the tank circuit and the cross-coupled transistors. The single differential-inductor oscillator may be configured such that a common mode (CM) resonance frequency (FCM) associated with the single differential-inductor oscillator is at twice a differential resonance frequency (FD) associated with the single differential-inductor oscillator.
