  • Algorithms and tools for optimization of integrated RF VCOs

    Creator:
    Kratyuk, Volodymyr
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents algorithms and tools for the automated design of RF LC CMOS voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) with low phase noise given a set of specifications. The electromagnetic solver, ASITIC, combined with the circuit simulator, SpectreRF, allows optimization of the VCO circuit parameters and inductor layout. This approach gives...

  • Digital phase-locked loops for multi-GHz clock generation

    Creator:
    Kratyuk, Volodymyr
    Abstract:
    A digital implementation of a PLL has several advantages compared to its analog counterpart. These include easy scalability with process shrink, elimination of the noise susceptible analog control for a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) and the inherent noise immunity of digital circuits. Several recent digital PLL (DPLL) implementations have achieved...
