摘要： A coplanar waveguide CPW using multi-layer interconnection CMOS technology is provided. In the CPW including an interlayer insulator disposed on a substrate, metal multilayers disposed on the interlayer insulator, and a ground line-a signal line-a ground line formed of an uppermost metal layer, when a ground line of a lowermost layer is connected to the ground line of the uppermost layer, intermediate metal layers are designed to gradually increase or decrease in width, or to be uneven so as to maximize an area where an ultra-high frequency spreads, thereby minimizing CPW loss and maximizing a slow wave effect. As a result, it is possible to improve performance of an ultra-high frequency circuit and miniaturize the circuit.

摘要： Provided are a linearized variable-capacitance module for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and an LC resonance circuit using the same. The VCO is a circuit for outputting a certain frequency in response to an input control signal (voltage or current). The VCO includes an inductor, a variable capacitor (or a varactor), and an active device for compensating for loss of energy caused by the inductor and varactor. The frequency of the VCO is varied by changing inductance or capacitance. In general, the VCO includes a variable-capacitance device (i.e., the varactor) so that the frequency of the VCO may be varies by changing the capacitance via a control voltage. In most cases, the frequency of the VCO varies nonlinearly with respect to the control voltage. The nonlinear variation in the frequency of the VCO results in a great variation in a VCO gain within a certain control voltage range. When a phase locked loop (PLL) includes the VCO, the variation in the VCO gain leads to a variation in the entire loop gain, thus causing a variation in output phase noise. To solve this problem, a varactor designed to have a capacitance that varies linearly with a control voltage is provided so that a VCO gain can be held constant. The variable-capacitance module includes a plurality of variable-capacitance devices with respectively different linear variation regions on an application voltage axis. Also, the variable-capacitance devices are coupled in common and receive a control voltage at one end while each receiving a different fixed voltage at the other end.

摘要： Provided is an operational transconductance amplifier (OTA). An existing Nauta transconductor used to implement a high frequency Gm-C filter integrated circuit (IC) is analyzed by a new method and from a new perspective to remove extra components and divide roles of remaining inverters for more simple and efficient circuit structure. In an existing Nauta transconductor, a common mode signal from an input terminal is amplified and appears at an output terminal, while in the inventive Nauta transconductor the common mode signal from an input terminal does not appear at the output terminal and is effectively eliminated. These enhanced characteristics can be achieved with a smaller number of inverters than an existing Nauta transconductor. Frequency characteristics of the filter can be effectively enhanced by independently controlling the quality factor without affecting the transconductance value required for frequency characteristics of the filter.

摘要： Provided is a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator having only one resonant mode characteristic. The quadrature voltage controlled oscillator has a structure in which two clocks generated from respective LC resonant circuits are 90 degrees out of phase with each other using a phase detector and a loop filter, instead of a general structure in which two LC tank resonant circuits are mutually coupled to constitute an LC quadrature voltage controlled oscillator. The quadrature voltage controlled oscillator includes two resonant circuits having the same oscillation frequency; and a phase controller receiving oscillation clocks of the two resonant circuits to control at least one of oscillation phases of the two resonant circuits according to a phase difference between the two oscillation clocks.
