A Back-To-Back Series Varactor Configuration Minimizing the Amplitude-to-Phase Noise Conversion in Si-Ge HBT Technology VCOs
Abstract
Amplitude-to-phase-noise conversion due to varactors for tuning the oscillation frequency can limit the closein phase noise performance in LC voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). Highly nonlinear varactors make the output... [ view full abstract ]
