  2. 1. Integrated VCOs in Gallium Arsenide HEMT technologies with a novel varactor structure

    Author : Mattias Ferndahl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design; Oscillator; HEMT; pHEMT; MMIC; VCO; varactor; GaAs; mHEMT;

    Abstract : This thesis presents results on metamorphic and pseudomorpic GaAs HEMT based Voltage Controlled Oscillators and a novel high-Q varactor structure, used in the VCOs, together with a straightforward extraction procedure for the varactors.Theory and fundamentals around LC-oscillators with oscillator criteria, phase noise and different topologies are given as background together with VCO phase noise measurement methods and an overview on device flicker noise; its physical origin and measurement.

  4. 2. Microwave CMOS VCOs and Front-Ends - using integrated passives on-chip and on-carrier

    Author : Markus Törmänen; Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; VCO; mixer; microwave; LNA; CMOS; front-end; System-on-Package;

    Abstract : The increasing demand for high data rates in wireless communication systems is increasing the requirements on the transceiver front-ends, as they are pushed to utilize more and wider bands at higher frequencies. The work in this thesis is focused on receiver front-ends composed of Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), Mixers, and Voltage Controlled Oscillators (VCOs) operating at microwave frequencies. READ MORE

  5. 3. Low Noise Oscillator in ADPLL toward Direct-to-RF All-digital Polar Transmitter

    Author : Jian Chen; Li-Rong Zheng; Fredrik Jonsson; Hannu Tenhunen; Georges Gielen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; all-digital; digitally-intensive; frequency modualtion; phase modulation; amplitude modulation; polar; transmitter; oscillator; digital controled oscillator; DCO; VCO; voltage controled oscillator; class-C oscillator; class-D PA; ADPLL; phase noise; RF; CMOS.;

    Abstract : In recent years all-digital or digitally-intensive RF transmitters (TX) have attracted great attention in both literature and industry. The motivation is to implement RF circuits in a manner suiting advanced nanometer CMOS processes. To achieve that, information is encoded in the time-domain rather than voltage amplitude. READ MORE

  6. 4. Design and Calibration of integrated PLL Frequency Synthesizers

    Author : Fredrik Jonsson; Håkan Olsson; Juha Kostamovaar; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electronics; Elektronik;

    Abstract : Thanks to its ability to generate a stable yet programmable output frequency, Phase Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizers are found in most modern radio transceivers. All practical PLL implementations suffer from unwanted frequency components such as phasenoise and spurious tones, and since these components affect system performance they must be predicted and minimized.
