本論文主要描述二個以變壓器耦合為基礎之電路架構,其分別為“低功率壓控震盪器”以及“新式哈特萊3-D電感注入鎖定除頻器”。此二電路皆採用臺積電所提供之零點一八微米互補式金氧半製程所製造。其中新式低功率壓控震盪器在採用變壓器耦合技巧後,其電路工作於1.2V之外加供應電壓下其輸出之相位雜訊在距離5.6GHz載波頻率1MHz處所量測之結果達-119.13dBc/Hz且其直流消耗功率2.4mW;在控制電壓由0V調至1.2V時,其調諧範圍為600MHz並且計算出來的FOM是-190.29。第二個電路採用3-D電感變壓器耦合之技巧,可達到節省面積之要求,此除頻器工作於1.2V之外加供應電壓下的自由震盪頻率為2.41GHz,在注入信號為0dBm時,該除頻器即可鎖定由4.39GHz至5.83GHz之輸入信號範圍,換言之,該除頻器具有1.44GHz (28.18%)之鎖定範圍。


This thesis mainly presents two circuit used the transformer coupling technique. A 5.6GHz low power balanced voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed and implemented in a 0.18 μm CMOS 1P6M process. The designed circuit topology consists of two single-ended complementary Colpitts LC-tank VCOs configured in a balanced topology. At the supply voltage of 1.2 V, the output phase noise of the VCO is -119.13dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset frequency from the carrier frequency of 5.6 GHz, and the figure of merit is -190.29dBc/Hz. Total VCO core power consumption is 2.4 mW. Tuning range is about 600 MHz, from 5.36 to 5.96 GHz, while the control voltage was tuned from 0 V to 1.2 V.
A low-power injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) based on the all-NMOS Hartley VCO topology. The ILFD uses 3-D transformer to form the resonator and save chip area. At the supply voltage of 1.2 V, the tuning range of the free running ILFD is from 2.32 GHz to 2.65 GHz, about 330 MHz while the tuning voltage is tuned from 0 to 1.8 V. At the injection signal power of 0dBm, the total locking range of the ILFD in the divide-by-2 mode is from 4.39 to 5.83 GHz, about 1.44 GHz. The total locking range of the ILFD in the 4 mode is from 9.18 to 10.4 GHz, about 1.22 GHz. The ILFD dissipates 3.42 mW at the supply voltage of 1.2 V and was fabricated in the 1P6M 0.18 μm CMOS process. The phase noise of the locked ILFD tracks with the low-phase-noise injection source.
