The talk begins with a review of the fundamental and technological limiting factors to the spectral purity of integrated RF oscillators, and then proposes circuit solutions to break the phase noise barrier in silicon technology. Phase noise can be scaled by resorting to the multi-core approach, provided mismatches among multiple oscillators are carefully considered. As an example, a 16-core (voltage-controlled) oscillator demonstrates -130dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from 20 GHz minimum phase. A more elegant and efficient approach is then introduced. Leveraging the series resonance of a tank, the remarkably lower resistance rises considerably the tank active power, thus enabling a remarkable improvement on the spectral purity. Two 10GHz BiCMOS VCOs exploiting the concept are proposed. The measured minimum phase noise is −138 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset with 600mW from 1.2-V supply. Experimental results demonstrate the lowest phase noise ever reported by fully integrated RF oscillators in a silicon technology.

IEEE PCJS will host a picnic on Thursday afternoon, July 11 - at the Mercer County Park West Picnic Area. This will be an opportunity for all of us to reconnect in-person. We will have the grills going. The section will provide burgers and drinks. Please bring a side-dish or dessert to share. Limited Seats. Please register ASAP along with the side-dish or dessert you will be bringing to share. For the food-drive, please bring any canned or boxed food. Please ensure the cans/boxes are not open and not past the expiry date. NO glass containers. Thank you for helping out your community. Directions to Mercer County West Picnic Area: See directions for Mercer County Park. West Picnic Area is located within Mercer County Park, once inside the Park look for the wayfinding signs to direct you to the West Picnic Area.
