Abstract:
An oscillator circuit and method for gain and phase noise control. A gain and phase noise controlled oscillator circuit includes a variable electronic oscillator and a tuning loop circuit. In operation, the variable electronic oscillator generates a clock signal and has a clock signal frequency that is controlled by a sense voltage received by the variable electronic oscillator or by one or more capacitive loads coupled to the variable electronic oscillator. Further, the tuning loop circuit is coupled to the variable electronic oscillator and compares the sense voltage to a control voltage received by the tuning loop circuit and produces one or more correction signals based on the comparison, where the one or more capacitive loads change capacitance based on the one or more correction signals.
