    Abstract: Embodiments of this application disclose a dual-mode oscillator and a multi-phase oscillator. In the dual-mode oscillator, switching between two operating modes is implemented by using a mode switching circuit, so that oscillation signals having two different bands can be obtained. Moreover, the dual-mode oscillator includes two transformer-coupled oscillators, and a step-up transformer in any transformer-coupled oscillator multiplies a drain voltage swing of a first MOS transistor and then injects a voltage signal to a gate of a second MOS transistor, so that a larger gate voltage swing is obtained without increasing a supply voltage of the oscillator, and phase noise performance of the dual-mode oscillator is improved. In the multi-phase oscillator, multiple dual-mode transformer-coupled oscillators are connected through multi-phase coupled circuits to form a Mobius loop, so that oscillation signals in multiple phases can be generated, and phase noise performance of the entire oscillator can be improved.
