The clock generation circuitry includes an oscillator having transconductance circuitry, a capacitance element coupled in parallel with the transconductance circuitry, a plurality of inductors coupled in parallel with the transconductance circuitry and the capacitance element, and with each other, and a current source coupled to the plurality of inductors. The capacitance element may be variable.

    摘要: A novel and useful oscillator topology demonstrating an improved phase noise performance that exploits the time-variant phase noise model with insights into the phase noise conversion mechanisms. The oscillator is based on enforcing a pseudo-square voltage waveform around an LC tank by increasing the third-harmonic of the fundamental oscillation voltage through an additional impedance peak. Alternatively, the oscillator is based on enforcing clipped oscillation waveform by increasing the second harmonic of the fundamental oscillation voltage through an additional impedance peak. This auxiliary impedance peak is realized by a transformer with moderately coupled resonating windings. As a result, the effective impulse sensitivity function (ISF) decreases thus reducing the oscillator's effective noise factor such that a significant improvement in the oscillator phase noise and power efficiency are achieved.

The resonant circuit includes an inductance and a capacitance and has a second terminal for connecting to a radiator. The field effect transistor includes a gate electrode coupled to a source of gate voltage, a source electrode, a drain electrode and a graphene channel disposed between the source electrode and the drain electrode and electrically connected thereto. The graphene channel is disposed relative to the gate electrode for being biased by the gate electrode into a negative differential resistance region of operation.

    摘要: A novel and useful reconfigurable superheterodyne receiver that employs a 3rd order complex IQ charge-sharing band-pass filter (BPF) for image rejection and 1st order feedback based RF BPF for channel selection filtering. The operating RF input frequency of the receiver is 500 MHz to 1.2 GHz with varying high IF range of 33 to 80 MHz. The gain stages are inverter based gm stages and the total gain of the receiver is 35 dB and in-band IIP3 at mid gain is +10 dBm. The NF of the receiver is 6.7 dB which is acceptable for the receiver without an LNA. The architecture is highly reconfigurable and follows the technology scaling.

    摘要: A VCO includes a transistor having a plurality of negative differential resistance devices coupled in series to the source terminal of the transistor, with each of the devices having a negative differential resistance operating region. Biasing circuits are coupled to the drain and gate terminals along with operating voltages which set the oscillator to operating in a negative differential resistance region of at least one of the negative differential resistance devices so that oscillations of a selected frequency are produced at an output terminal. The transistor, the plurality of N devices, the DC biasing circuits, and the operating voltages are connected so that the oscillator negative differential resistance operating region is greater than N times as wide as each of the device negative differential operating regions individually.

    摘要: A voltage controlled oscillator operable on two widely separated frequency bands, such as 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz for example. The voltage controlled oscillator includes two negative resistance generators (32, 34) which share a common tunable tank circuit (26) and a common impedance matched combiner circuit (28) which provides the RF output (36). The VCO uses only one varactor (30) to tune both frequency bands. Separate negative resistance generators (32, 34) are used to provide optimum frequency selectivity within each frequency band.

    摘要: A resonator (50) is connected in circuit with a negative resistance element (Q3,Q4) for producing oscillation at a resonant frequency of the resonator (50). A digital phase shifter (58) is incorporated into the resonant frequency in accordance with an applied digital signal. The resonator (50) can be connected in series with the negative resistance element (Q3), in which case the phase shifter (58) is connected as either a short-circuit or an open-circuit transmission line. Alternatively, the resonator (50) can be connected in parallel with the negative resistance element (Q4) in a feedback loop. An analog phase shifter (84) can also be provided in the resonator (50') for continuously variably setting the resonant frequency over the tuning increments of the digital phase shifter (58).
