A time-variant analysis of the 1/f2 phase noise in CMOS parallel LC-tank quadrature oscillators

Summary, in English

This paper presents a study of 1/f/sup 2/ phase noise in quadrature oscillators built by connecting two differential LC-tank oscillators in a parallel fashion. The analysis clearly demonstrates the necessity of adopting a time-variant theory of phase noise, where a more simplistic, time-invariant approach fails to explain numerical simulation results even at the qualitative level. Two topologies of 5-GHz parallel quadrature oscillators are considered, and compact but nevertheless highly general, closed-form formulas are derived for the phase noise caused by the losses in the LC-tanks and by the noisy currents in the MOS transistors. A large number of spectreRF simulations, covering a wide range of working conditions for the oscillators, is used to validate the theoretical analysis.
