His heuristic model without mathematical proof is almost universally accepted. However, it entails a c- cuit specific noise factor that is not known a priori and so is not predictive. In this work, we attempt to address the topic of oscillator design from a diff- ent perspective. By introducing a new paradigm that accurately captures the subtleties of phase noise we try to answer the question: 'why do oscillators behave in a particular way?' and 'what can be done to build an optimum design?' It is also hoped that the paradigm is useful in other areas of circuit design such as frequency synthesis and clock recovery. In Chapter 1, a general introduction and motivation to the subject is presented. Chapter 2 summarizes the fundamentals of phase noise and timing jitter and discusses earlier works on oscillator's phase noise analysis. Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 analyze the physical mechanisms behind phase noise generation in current-biased and Colpitts oscillators. Chapter 5 discusses design trade-offs and new techniques in LC oscillator design that allows optimal design. Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 discuss a topic that is typically ignored in oscillator design. That is flicker noise in LC oscillators. Finally, Chapter 8 is dedicated to the complete analysis of the role of varactors both in tuning and AM-FM noise conversion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is hardly a revelation to note that wireless and mobile communications have grown tremendously during the last few years. This growth has placed stringent requi- ments on channel spacing and, by implication, on the phase noise of oscillators. C- pounding the challenge has been a recent drive toward implementations of transceivers in CMOS, whose inferior 1/f noise performance has usually been thought to disqualify it from use in all but the lowest-performance oscillators. Low noise oscillators are also highly desired in the digital world, of course. The c- tinued drive toward higher clock frequencies translates into a demand for ev- decreasing jitter. Clearly, there is a need for a deep understanding of the fundamental mechanisms g- erning the process by which device, substrate, and supply noise turn into jitter and phase noise. Existing models generally offer only qualitative insights, however, and it has not always been clear why they are not quantitatively correct.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The random fluctuations of signal phase of an oscillator limit the precision of time and frequency measurements. The noise and long-term stability of the system's oscillator or clock is of major importance in applications such as optical and wireless communications, high-speed digital electronics, radar, and astronomy. The Optoelectronic Oscillator (OE Oscillator), a new class of time delay oscillator with promise as a low-phase noise source of microwave carriers, was introduced by Steve Yao and Lute Malek in 1996. The OE Oscillator combines into a closed loop an RF photonic link and an RF chain. The RF photonic link consists of a laser, electro-optic modulator, optical fibre delay line, and a photo-receiver that together provide an RF delay. An RF chain consists of one or more amplifiers and a RF resonator that together provide the sustaining amplification and the frequency selectivity necessary for single mode oscillation of the loop. The low loss of optical fibres enables the attainment of delays that correspond to optical fibre lengths of several kilometers. It is the long delay, unattainable in an all electronic implementations that is responsible for the superior phase noise performance of an OE Oscillator. In this thesis the fundamental principles of operation of an OE Oscillator are described and the principal sources of in-loop phase fluctuations that are responsible for phase-noise identified. This lays the ground for an exposition of the mechanism that describes the perturbation of a time delay oscillator by injection into the loop of a carrier that is detuned in frequency from the natural frequency of the oscillator. For sufficiently small detuning the oscillator can become phase locked to the injected carrier. The model presented in the thesis generalises the traditional Yao-Maleki and Leeson model to include all the important features that describe the injection locking dynamics of an OE Oscillator. In particular the common assumptions of single mode oscillation and weak injection are removed. This is important to correctly predict the effect of injection locking on the spurious peaks in the phase noise spectrum corresponding to the side-modes of a time delay oscillator. Simulation results are presented in order to validate the dynamics of the oscillator under injection and analytic results on the lock-in range and phase noise spectrum. A 10 GHz OE Oscillator with a single 5km delay line is used as an example in the simulation illustration.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Synchronization plays an important and fundamental role as the timing basis in digital, analog, and RF integrated circuits (ICs), where Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) find their versatile applications. The noise sources in a traditional PLL are mainly divided into two groups: noise before the low-pass loop filter such as the noise in the reference signal, Frequency Divider (FD), Phase Frequency Detector/Charge Pump (PFD/CP); and noise after the filter such as the Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) noise and the loop filter noise. The output phase noise of the PLL is the combined contribution from these two equally important in-band and out-band noise sources. This research studies the effect of the synchronization in the PLL on the decoupling of the 3dB bandwidths for different noise sources to achieve an optimum phase noise and improved locking behavior with an attenuated reference signal injection (RI) into a ring-type delay-line Voltage Controlled Synchronous Oscillator (VCSO). This dissertation begins with the development of a generalized phase model for both LC-type and ring-type VCSOs. Next, the relationship between the device baseband noise (flicker and thermal noise) and a ring-type oscillator's phase noise is derived. In addition, noise shaping functions are introduced to describe signal injection into the VCSO to achieve suppression of the oscillator in-band phase noise. Then, the transient and steady-state behavior of a Charge-Pump PLL-RI are explained with nonlinear differential equations and the phase-plane method. The nonlinear phase equation is linearized for the small-signal condition and the s-domain noise transfer functions as well as noise bandwidths are derived for different noise sources in the major components of the PLL-RI. The effect of the loop parameters and the injection strength on the output phase noise, loop settling time, and lock in range is analyzed. The analysis is verified by the SPICE simulation and experimental results from a Charge-Pump PLL-RI using a 1GHz VCSO in GlobalFoundries 130nm standard CMOS technology. The designed VCSO occupies a core area of 0.005 mm$^2$, and operates from 0.5GHz to 1.7GHz. The PLL-RI, for first-harmonic locking applications, has a core area of 0.02 mm$^2$ and consumes 2.6mW power. When a 30dB attenuation is applied, phase noise at 1MHz and 10MHz offset are reduced from -118.8dBc/Hz (PLL) to -121.9dBc/Hz (PLL-RI), and -102.3dBc/Hz (PLL) to -128.3dBc/Hz (PLL-RI), respectively, with an integrated RMS jitter from 10KHz to 30MHz of 1.55ps. Finally, another application of the PLL-RI as an integer-N frequency synthesizer is studied and tested. The PLL-RI based frequency synthesizer with the ring-type VCSO achieves comparable noise performance with LC type PLLs, but uses a much smaller chip area and features lower power consumption. To summarize, this dissertation has throughly evaluated an oscillator and a PLL under small signal injection. Compared with the traditional PLL, the all-CMOS PLL-RI offers faster settling time, wider lock in range, and ability to decouple 3dB bandwidths for different noise sources to achieve an optimum noise performance. The applications of PLL-RIs can be extended to analog, digital, and RF systems for different timing schemes.

Book excerpt: Oscillators are critical components in electrical and electronic engineering and other engineering and sciences. Oscillators are classified as free-running oscillators and injected oscillators. This chapter describes the background necessary for the analysis and design of injected oscillators. When an oscillator is injected by an external periodic signal mentioned as an injection signal, it is called an injected oscillator. Consequently, two phenomena occur in the injected oscillators: (I) pulling phenomena and (II) locking phenomena. For locking phenomena, the oscillation frequency of the injection signal must be near free-running oscillation frequency or its sub-/super-harmonics. Due to these phenomena are nonlinear phenomena, it is tough to achieve the exact equation or closed-form equation of them. Therefore, researchers are scrutinizing them by different analytical and numerical methods for accomplishing an exact inside view of their performances. In this chapter, injected oscillators are investigated in two main subjects: first, analytical methods on locking and pulling phenomena are reviewed, and second, applications of injected oscillators are reviewed such as injection-locked frequency dividers at the latter. Furthermore, methods of enhancing the locking range are introduced.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clock multipliers are among the most critical elements in high speed digital circuits. Power consumption, area, jitter and wide tuning range are key design metrics in these circuits. To provide a wide range of clock frequencies, Digitally Controlled Ring Oscillators (DCROs), whose frequencies are discretely tuned using a Frequency Code Word (FCW), have been investigated in recent studies. They have several advantages over LC-based Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCO) including simplicity of design, small die area (i.e. no large inductors), better compatibility with deep submicron CMOS processes,ability to offer multiple output phases, and wider tuning range.A compact differential Injection Locked Clock Multiplier (ILCM) based on an injection locked DCRO is implemented in this thesis. As the transistor features continuously shrink and the supply voltage is reduced, ILCMs are becoming more prone to issues such as increased effect of random mismatch, increased device noise, susceptibility of the design to noise coupling and vulnerability to Process Voltage and Temperature (PVT) variations. Furthermore, ILCMs in recent System on a Chip (SoCs) have stringent design requirements including accurate frequency tuning, fine fractional resolution, high levels of integration and better amenability to technology scaling. In the proposed ILCM, multiple techniques were used to address deep submicron CMOS design challenges, as well as modern applications' requirements. The design is fully digital, synthesizable and automatically placed and routed. All circuit blocks were implemented using digital design flow and designed using a Hardware Description Language (HDL). This allows the design to be more easily ported to deep submicron processes. Online or offline PVT calibration can be performed using a replica oscillator and high speed digital counters to track frequency drifts with PVT variations. A DCRO based on a matrix structure has been utilized to reduce period variations due to random mismatch. The DCRO is built up from pseudo differential delay cells to enhance design immunity to noise coupling. The key thesis contributions are implementing a new DCRO structure using fully syntheziable differential structure, utilizing a novel PVT calibrator that can compensate for frequency mismatch between the main DCRO and its replica, and using a low complexity fractional ILCM technique that achieves a fine fractional resolution with few number of ring oscillator stages.Designed in a TSMC 65 nm GP CMOS process with no analog or RF enhancements, the proposed ILCM frequency ranges from 1.0 to 1.8 GHz and occupies 124:5 m 170 m of chip area. The ILCM can operate in integer or fractional mode for multiplication ratios up to 9. At 1.7 GHz and 1.1 V, the measured integrated RMS jitter (1 kHz to 30 MHz) for the 3rd and 9th multiplication factors are 197 fs and 381 fs, respectively. The ILCM consumes 13.25 mW of power and has a fraction resolution of fref=32. Furthermore, it achieves a jitter-power FOM of −241 dB, when measured at room temperature and 1.1 V. When tested in the presence of switching noise, it provides up to 7 dB improvement in phase noise when compared to a single ended version of the ILCM. In the presence of voltage variations (from 0.9 V to 1.1 V) and temperature variations (from 30 C to 70 C), the maximum integrated RMS jitter variation observed was 50 fs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An injection locked oscillator is a presented using wavelet analysis to evaluate the role of PLLs in RF transceivers. The goal is to evaluate injection locking and achieve full control over frequency and phase of the output signal, and achieve 100% throughput of the transceiver. This is done by injecting a periodic signal in the oscillator. Specifically, when the frequency of the periodic signal and that of the oscillator are close to each other, the periodic signal can be used to synchronize the oscillator frequency. In this work, we pursue an understanding of the injection locked oscillator's performance using wavelet analysis. Using TopSpice an injection locked oscillator is designed. The oscillator's frequency stability time resolution in frequency are explored, followed by denoising. Also, circuit simulations are performed using TopSpice and MATLAB toolboxes. It is shown that low and high frequency component of ~ 500 Hz and ~2000 Hz are present. Also, the signal transitions from a low to high frequency component at t ~ 0.01 seconds, and this transition is confirmed using analysis based on the Morlet Wavelet transform. Wavelets are also used again to denoise the signal and verify that key frequencies in the signal are retained during the denoising process.
