The performance of two oscillator circuits, namely a current-starved voltage controlled oscillator and a ring oscillator, is compared with respect to multi-tone direct power injection (DPI). The ...

NARRATOR: That ice cream dispenser is out of control Frank! Let’s look at how it’s set up. We can see it’s a series circuit because everything is connected to one path. The power is coming ...

In this paper, we describe a theoretical basis, leading to new results, on the general conditions to be fulfilled by oscillator circuits to achieve a very low phase noise. Three main conditions must ...

To mitigate this sensitivity, a constant-gm bias circuit is proposed in this paper, with a detailed mathematical analysis. A prototype of 4-stage ring oscillator with center frequency of 5 GHz is ...
