Multi-frequency receivers have become a standard for Global Navigation Satellite Systems ( GNSS ) and Global Positioning Systems ( GPS ) applications. In smart vehicle applications, multi-frequency receivers need to work reliably in a large temperature variation. Even though literature has presented solutions for frequency stability over temperature, they usually rely on external control circuits or non-silicon solutions such as wide-bandgap materials or MEMS resonators, leading to higher production costs. This work proposes a temperatureaware design of an active-inductor-based, MOSFET only, voltagecontrolled oscillator suitable for the L-Band. The temperature analysis is made based on a gm/ID methodology for the transistor biasing and MOSFET capacitors. Those analyses are validated from simulation models (-40 • C to 175 • C) and transistor measurements up to 200 • C. Monte-Carlo post-layout simulations present a mean first-order temperature coefficient of 237 ppm/ • C and cover the entire L-Band.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
