Title
A 350uW 2GHz FBAR transformer coupled Colpitts oscillator with close-in phase noise reduction
Abstract
We present the proposed oscillator architecture to reduce the close-in phase noise as well as power consumption. The proposed Colpitts oscillator removes the current source which is the main source of the 1/f noise conversion. The removal of the current source is compensated by the transformer and cross coupled capacitors. The 2GHz FBAR is used for the high Q frequency selective elements in the oscillator design. According to measurement results, this FBAR based oscillator shows ≥ 10dB reduction in close-in phase noise. In specific, 12dB lower phase noise is achieved at 100Hz offset frequency. Measured power consumption is 350uW, which is almost a half of conventional Colpitts oscillator using same FBAR device [3].
