Abstract-We construct a coordinate-independent description of oscillator linear response through a decomposition scheme derived independently of any Floquet theoretic results. Trading matrix algebra for a simpler graphical methodology, the text will present the reader with an opportunity to gain an intuitive understanding of the well-known phase noise macromodel. The topics discussed in this paper include the following: orthogonal decompositions, AM-PM conversion, and nonhyperbolic oscillator noise response.
Abstract-The dynamic equations governing the cross-coupled quadrature harmonic oscillator are derived assuming quasi-sinusoidal operation. This allows for an investigation of the previously reported tradeoff between close-to-carrier phase noise and quadrature precision. The results explain how nonlinearity in the coupling transconductances, in conjunction with a finite amplitude relaxation time and de-tuning of the individual oscillators, cause close-to-carrier AM-to-PM noise conversion. A discussion is presented of how the theoretic results translate into design rules for quadrature oscillator ICs. SPECTRE RF simulations verify the developed theory.Index Terms-AM-to-PM noise conversion, oscillator, nonlinear analysis, phase error, phase noise, quadrature oscillator.
We report on a consistent large-signal and small-signal modeling and parameter extraction method for high-speed InP DHBT valid to 110 GHz. Electromagnetic simulation is applied to predict the embedded network model caused by pad parasitics. Applying direct parameter extraction on the de-embedded device response leads to accurate small-signal model description of the InP DHBT. We have solved the problem of consistent transit time modeling by a two step process. A parameter extraction approach is described for the Agilent ADS2004A HBT model, which assures consistency between large-signal and bias-dependent small-signal modeling.
