Designing a Ring-VCO for RFID Transponders in 0.18 μm CMOS Process

Abstract: In radio frequency identification (RFID) systems, performance degradation of phase locked loops (PLLs) mainly occurs due to high phase noise of voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). This paper proposes a low power, low phase noise ring-VCO developed for 2.42 GHz operated active RFID transponders compatible with IEEE 802.11 b/g, Bluetooth, and Zigbee protocols. For ease of integration and implementation of the module in tiny die area, a novel pseudodifferential delay cell based 3-stage ring oscillator has been… Show more

“…A number of delay cells connected in a positive or regenerative feedback loop compose a main basis for ring oscillator structures [18]. In contrast with the single-ended counterpart, differential delay cells are widely used for providing both differential output signal and a higher level of common-mode rejection from supply disturbances and substrate induced-noise [19].…”

“…Thus, ring oscillator design process involves a proper selection of the adopted delay cell topology and the optimum number of delay cells. In general, a variable number of 2 to 4 stages are commonly applied for typical design in communication systems [18]. By applying a self-biased topology, the adopted structure for delay cell implementation is represented at schematic level through the diagram in Figure 3.…”

“…In CMOS ring oscillators (single-ended or differential); a most common concern is the preferred method to generate better performance in terms of jitter, phasenoise, and total power dissipation. Single-ended CMOS ring oscillators phase noise and jitter are not strong functions of the number of stages [10][11][12]. However, the design is not done symmetrically or the design produces large noise, then a larger N will reduce the jitter.…”

“…The comparators measure the smallest voltage differences in ADC's inputs, resolving the performance and the precision of any ADCs. An application that requires digital information recovery from analog signals, such as I/O receivers and radio frequency identification (RFID) memory circuits, widely uses high performance comparators to intensify a little input voltage to a big voltage level [ 3 , 4 ]. Moreover, digital logic circuits can detect these signals within a short period.…”
