“…Since the free-running frequency of the ring VCO is highly dependent upon PVT variations, practical implementations of the proposed CRC circuit can employ a closed-loop frequency calibration scheme, as described in [21], to ensure robustness against PVT variations.…”

“…Voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) are widely used in the design of sensor systems. VCOs are generally found in transceivers for ultra low-power wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where, in conjunction with the phase locked loop (PLL), are used for frequency synthesis, fast switching circuits, and clock recovery [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 ]. VCOs are also a fundamental part of VCO-based reading circuits where the sensor core output voltage is applied to the VCO tuning voltage node, achieving high sensitivity and high signal-to-noise ratio compared to amplifier-based reading circuits [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ].…”

“…To further integrate communication chips, research is being done on designing on-chip oscillators that could replace the off-chip (crystal) oscillators [66,67,68], aiming to obtain crystal-free architectures. Not needing to add crystals to a radio has several key advantages.…”

“…These variations would need to be detected and compensated by calibration algorithms running continuously during the lifetime of the crystal-free radio. Efforts have been made towards achieving an on-chip frequency reference of higher accuracy [66,67,68], but the temperature influence on these oscillators is still too high for compliance with IEEE802.15.4, as that standard mandates a drift below 40 ppm at all times.…”
