A novel switched-R-MOSFET-C input branch is proposed for low-voltage and high-linearity applications. The tunability is achieved by varying the clock duty cycle using an automatic tuning circuit. This tuning method does not involve a change in gate voltage, and is therefore particularly suitable for low-voltage applications. The advantages of the...
This thesis presents a comparison of time-domain and frequency-domain algorithms for phase noise calculation in oscillators. Floquet theory provides the mathematical foundation for these calculations and the numerical methods employ perturbation projection vectors (PPVs). The PPVs are an estimate of an oscillator's sensitivity to noise.
The in-house circuit simulator SPICE3...
