Design and measurement of class EF2 power oscillator

Abstract: A class EF2 power oscillator designed in standard 130 nm CMOS at 2.5 GHz frequency is presented. The oscillator relies on a direct path based on a power amplifier and a feedback path based on passive elements and an MOS varactor. Class EF2 is used to reduce voltage stress across the switch, enabling a higher output power for modern transistors with low breakdown voltage. The measurement on a class EF2 power oscillator at radio frequency (RF) is presented for the first time. The circuit achieves 17.65 dBm outpu… Show more

“…If we compared the obtained results of this work (phase noise -108 dBc/hz , tuning bandwith 920 MHz) with the published results of some scientific reports on microwave oscillator designs [11]- [17], we can conclude that this voltage controlled oscillator has good results in term of tuning bandwith, phase noise, good output power and frequency accuracy. These results were the product of deep study of each parameter of the voltage controlled oscillator and especially the interaction between these parametres.…”

“…Through published results of some scientific reports on microwave oscillator designs [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] we observe that the best reached results are about: phase noise -101 dBc/hz efficiency 15. If we compared these results with ours (phase noise -120dBc/hz efficiency 16) we can conclude that this oscillator has record results in term of phase noise, better results in term of efficiency, good output power and frequency accuracy.…”
