A Novel Differential Hartley CMOS Oscillator Circuit Topology

Abstract

This paper reports a novel differential Hartley oscillator circuit topology. The circuit topology exploits the transformer coupling to enhance the effective quality factor (Q) of the LC tank and shows a potential for achieving... [ view full abstract ]
