    Abstract: A tail-tank coupling technique combines two complementary differential LC-VCOs to form a quadrature LC-VCO. The technique reduces phase noise by providing additional energy storage for noise redistribution and by cancelling noise injected by transistors when they operate in the triode region. The resulting noise factor is close to the theoretical minimum 1+γ, similar to a differential LC-VCO driven by an ideal noiseless current source. However, its figure-of-merit is higher, due to the absence of voltage head-room being consumed by a current source. The optimal ratio of tail-tank capacitor to main-tank capacitor for minimizing phase noise is approximately 0.5. The method can be extended to combine any even number of LC tanks resonating at fo and 2fo to form an integrated oscillator producing quadrature phase at frequency fosc and differential output at 2fosc.

    Abstract: A multimode millimeter-wave frequency divider circuit with multiple selectable frequency dividing modes is proposed, which is designed for integration with a millimeter wave (MMW) circuit system, such as a phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit, for providing multimode frequency dividing functions. In actual application, the millimeter wave frequency divider circuit of multi frequency dividing mode provides at least three frequency dividing operational modes, including modes of dividing two, dividing 3 and dividing four. In practice, the millimeter wave frequency divider circuit of multi frequency divider mode may be integrated with a millimeter wave phase-locked circuit to provide a frequency synthetic function having multi frequency sections, such as including 38 GHZ, 60 GHZ and 77 GHZ, and may use reduced circuit layout surfaces and operational power.

    Abstract: A differential voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) employed in a frequency synthesizer used as a local oscillator of a wireless communication on-chip transmitter/receiver is provided. More particularly, a differential current negative feedback VCO equipped with a current-current negative feedback circuit that suppresses low- and high-frequency noise is provided. A differential current negative feedback VCO includes a resonator determining oscillation frequency, and an oscillator generating negative resistance. In the oscillator of the differential current negative feedback VCO, transistors Q1 and Q2 form a cross-coupled pair, and negative resistance is generated by positive feedback of the cross-coupled pair. And, transistors Q1 and Q3 together with an emitter resistor and a capacitor form a current negative feedback part, and transistors Q2 and Q4 together with an emitter resistor and a capacitor form another current negative feedback part which is disposed opposite to a resonator. Thus, the VCO operates differentially. In the oscillator of the differential current negative feedback VCO, emitter noise currents generated by base noise voltages of Q1 and Q2 induced by low- and high-frequency noise sources in the bases of Q1 and Q2 are sampled by emitter resistors, amplified through bases of Q3 and Q4, and thus return to the bases of the Q1 and Q2 and suppress the base noise voltages. Measurement of the phase noise of the differential current negative feedback VCO reveals a phase noise reduction of approximately 25 dB compared to a conventional differential VCO.

    Abstract: A dielectric resonator feed back stabilizer comprising a circulator, 3-dB, 90.degree. hybrid dielectric resonator, and isolator. The circulator provides an input electromagnetic signal from a source to the hybrid, which splits the input signal into two outputs with 90.degree. relative phase difference. One hybrid output is to the load and the other is to a dielectric resonator with high Q. The dielectric resonator reflects a portion of the input signal corresponding to the dielectric resonator operating frequency back to the hybrid which splits the reflected signal into two outputs 90 degree relative phase difference. The first signal reflected back through the hybrid, 180 degrees out of phase with the hybrid input signal from the circulator, is cancelled by superposition with the hybrid input signal. The second reflected signal travels through an isolator to the circulator injection locks the source input signal.

    Abstract: A microwave oscillator suitable for millimeter wavelengths comprises a Gunn diode (3) coupled to a waveguide (1) by a resonant-cap structure (5,6). The diode (3) generates microwave energy both at a fundamental frequency f.sub.o which is below the cut-off frequency of the waveguide (1) and at a second harmonic frequency 2f.sub.o above cut-off. To control the generation of microwave energy at 2f.sub.o, energy at f.sub.o is coupled into the waveguide (1) from an adjacent further waveguide (9) above its cut-off, by means of an electric probe (8) extending close to the cap (5). The probe (8) may couple in a locking signal at or close to the free-running value of f.sub.o from another oscillator having better noise performance and electronic tuning, thereby locking 2f.sub.o to twice the frequency of the locking signal, or alternatively may couple to a varactor-tuned cavity resonant at f.sub.o.
