Differential voltage-controlled (VCO) oscillator
Abstract:
The present application relates to a differential Colpitts voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit, which comprises a pair of transistors with control terminals biased by a common biasing voltage and a pair of couplers arranged to cross-couple corrector/drain of the transistors and the base/gate of the differential transistors. The pair of couplers have a coupling factor kc, which used to enhance the transconductance of the transistor pair, therefore can be used for power consumption reduction and phase noise minimalization.
