    摘要: A chirp-generator comprising a phase-detector for providing a phase-difference-signal representative of a phase difference between a clock-input-signal and a feedback-signal. A VCO-circuit is configured to provide a chirp-generator-output-signal based on the phase-difference-signal. The VCO-circuit comprises a switched-varactor-bank, which includes a plurality of varactors, and a varactor-switch associated with each of the plurality of varactors. The varactor-switch is configured to selectively control whether or not the associated varactor contributes to the capacitance of the VCO-circuit, based on the state of a varactor-control-signal. The chirp-generator also includes a feedback-component configured to: receive the chirp-generator-output-signal; and apply a variable-multiplication-factor to the chirp-generator-output-signal in order to provide the feedback signal for the phase-detector. A controller provides a sequence of different variable-multiplication-factors to the feedback-component; and provides varactor-control-signals to the plurality of varactors such that the varactors are sequentially controlled such that they contribute to the capacitance of the VCO-circuit.

    摘要: A wide tuning range oscillator system uses multiple active cores with cross-coupled transistors and multiple tapped inductors having windings that can be connected to circuit nodes. These active cores are connected to a pair of symmetric tapping points and are switched ON/OFF by biasing elements. Biasing schemes and the topology of the individual cross-coupled cores may be different from each other. The tapping points are symmetrically arranged around the center point of the inductor. One or more of the active cores may be enabled for tuning the center frequency of the oscillator system.

    摘要: A VCO includes a transformer-based resonator that has a first LC tank and a second LC tank. The resonator has an even resonant mode and an odd resonant mode. The VCO further includes an active transconductance network that is coupled to a two-terminal port of the first tank and is also coupled to a two-terminal port of the second tank. A first terminal of the port of the first tank is capacitively coupled to a first terminal of the port of the second tank. A second terminal of the port of the first tank is capacitively coupled to a second terminal of the port of the second tank. The active transconductance network causes the resonator to resonate in a selectable one of the even and odd resonant modes depending on a digital control signal. The VCO is fine tuned by changing the capacitances of capacitors of the tanks.

    摘要: An injection-locked frequency divider is provided. The injection-locked frequency divider includes a variable reactance unit, a signal injection unit, a first switch, a second switch, a first transformer, and a second transformer. The variable reactance unit, the first switch, the second switch, the first transformer, and the second transformer form a transformer-based LC-tank oscillator. The signal injection unit receives an injection signal. When the injection-locked frequency divider is in a locked state, the transformer-based LC-tank oscillator outputs a frequency division signal. Employing the feedback action of the first transformer and the second transformer, the present invention not only has a wide locking range but also promotes the realization of the low operating voltage.
