Description

Dual-core oscillator based on current multiplexing and transformer coupling buffer amplifier
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radio frequency integrated circuits, in particular to a dual-core oscillator based on current multiplexing and transformer coupling buffer amplifiers, which has high output power and low phase noise.
Background
One of the important challenges facing the design of rf front-end modules is to implement a fully integrated, low power consumption, low phase noise Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). In recent years, doppler radar systems have been applied to wireless sensors, such as position and distance sensing, automotive anti-collision radar, heart beat monitoring and detection. High efficiency circuits are critical for long-term operation of the radar under battery power. Over the past decades, many approaches have been proposed to reduce the power consumption of oscillators, with low voltage operation being one of the most promising solutions. However, the reduction in operating voltage limits the amplitude of the signal, resulting in degradation of VCO phase noise. This will severely degrade the performance of the receiver.
In general, a VCO is used to drive up/down converter mixers in a radio frequency transceiver. Design parameters to be considered are many, such as tuning range, phase noise, output power and efficiency. High frequency oscillators can be implemented in SiGe processes because they have superior power handling and higher fTAnd fmax[1]. However, such a process is not easily integrated with standard CMOS circuitry. Document [2 ]]The tuning range is expanded by using a switch inductor, but three commonly used source amplifiers are needed to improve the output power. Therefore, it will require more dc power. [3]-[5]The drain-source transformer feedback VCO is reported in. The method can obtain larger voltage fluctuation under low power supply voltage. However, the parasitic capacitance of the transformer limits the tuning range.
To address this challenge, some researchers have combined standard CMOS processes with non-conventional processes, such as thick metallization inductors or external high Q inductors [6 ]]. The oscillation condition of the oscillator is gm RTANK≧ 1, where gm is the transconductance of the oscillator, RTANKIs the equivalent resistance of the capacitance-inductance resonant cavity when in resonance. If a high Q capacitance-to-inductance resonator is used, RTANKIt will increase, thereby reducing the minimum gm value required for oscillation and consequently resulting in a smaller leakage current requirement. Since the phase noise of an oscillator is inversely proportional to the quality factor of its cavity, not only can low power consumption be achieved, but also low phase noise characteristics can result. However, high Q passive components cannot be easily integrated into CMOS platforms, so this approach does not meet the market demand for miniaturized, low cost, low power communication devices.

The core 2 comprises varactors Cv3, Cv4, transistors M3 and M4 and a tertiary coil L3 of a transformer T. The gate of the transistor M3 is connected with the drain of the transistor M4, and the gate of the transistor M4 is connected with the drain of the transistor M3 to form a cross-coupled core transistor pair generating negative resistance; the sources of the transistors M3 and M4 are grounded respectively; positive terminals of the varactors Cv3 and Cv4 are in back-to-back butt joint, and negative terminals of the two varactors Cv3 and Cv4 are connected with a tertiary coil L3 of the transformer T, so that the two varactors Cv3 and Cv4 are connected with the tertiary coil L3 of the transformer T in parallel to form a resonant cavity of the core 2.

1. the current multiplexing technique is used, and a center-tapped transformer is used to integrate the cross-coupled pairs and the buffer amplifier. The conventional design would be at VA buffer amplifier is connected directly after the CO to increase the power, however, the overall efficiency obtained with this method is not good. The advantage of the connection method provided by the invention is that the bias (Vb) of the buffer amplifier can be directly set through the center tap of the primary coil of the transformer, so that the bias of the buffer amplifier can not depend on the working condition of the voltage-controlled oscillator any more. Simulation verifies that the peak output power of the VCO can reach more than 4dBm (as shown in figure 1), the power consumption is 8.4mW, and the formula shows that
Figure RE-RE-DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
The calculated peak efficiency can reach about 30%.
2. The dual core structure is adopted to improve the phase noise performance. From the angle of the overall structure of the oscillator, a dual-core structure (namely, two oscillator topology cores are coupled) is adopted, and each oscillator core has a local resonant cavity, so that high resonant current of each capacitance-inductance resonant cavity only circulates locally. In this case, the capacitance value of the capacitor in parallel is doubled, the inductance value in parallel is halved, the oscillation frequency is kept unchanged, but the equivalent resistance of the parallel resonant cavity is halved, and the phase noise is reduced by 3dB theoretically. The combination of the two methods can greatly break through the design bottleneck that the output power and the phase noise of the existing microwave radio frequency voltage-controlled oscillator are mutually contained.
