摘要:
An oscillator circuit is described and has an oscillator core with at least one inductance and, connected thereto, a first and second capacitance. A deattenuator is coupled to the oscillator core and has two transistors, which are cross-coupled to one another in a non-direct-electrical coupling. The respective load terminal of a respective transistor is directly connected to a reference-ground potential terminal. The non-direct-electrical, for example inductive, coupling of the transistors in combination with the transistors directly connected to ground enables a greater modulation capability and also a smaller phase noise of the oscillator circuit. In this case, the transistors are operated as current switches. In preferred embodiments, the oscillator circuit has a regulating circuit for a bias voltage and an operating-current setting. The present oscillator circuit is suitable for mobile radio applications with stringent phase noise requirements in the gigahertz range and can be integrated into CMOS circuit technology.
