    摘要: A frequency synthesizer device provides amplitude control. Using switch circuit operating in a first mode, a charge voltage is applied to an oscillator circuit that an inductive-capacitive (LC) tank circuit. The LC tank circuit has a capacitive element, and an inductive element that is connected to the capacitive element. Using the switch circuit operating in a second mode, the LC tank circuit is enabled to oscillate. Using driver circuits that are response to a voltage applied to the tank circuit, current is reinforced in the LC tank, and the reinforcement is based upon a transconductance gain of the driver circuits. Using a calibration circuit, an amplitude of an output signal from the oscillator circuit is detected. In response to the detected amplitude, the transconductance gain is adjusted by enabling or disabling auxiliary circuits from plurality of auxiliary circuits.

    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.
