Care was taken to design the ECL-based circuits to operate with as low supply voltage and current consumption as possible. The phase noise contribution of the integrated bandgap bias network is demonstrated through simulations. The tradeoff between the power consumption and the phase noise is pointed out and some guidelines are provided to improve the noise performance. Measurements confirm the functionality of the prescaler with a 2.5V supply drawing around 2.3mA at 2.35 GHz with an input sensitivity between -24dBm and 12dBm. The circuit operates with a supply voltage down to 2.1V but with limited input sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":299621,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium.

It has a tuning range of 810 MHz with low phase noise performance throughout the tuning range. It meets the requirements for IEEE802.11a WLAN standard. Low power and low phase noise have been achieved simultaneously by the use of np complementary cross-coupled topology. The novel orientation of the inductor pair used in the design minimizes the effect of any unwanted common-mode magnetic coupling that may arise from other on-chip inductors in an integrated environment.","PeriodicalId":299621,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium.

Our results show that the output impedance of MOSFETs intrinsically shows a series RC circuit (for low substrate resistance) or a \"shifted\" series RC circuit (for very high substrate resistance) at low frequencies, and a parallel RC circuit at high frequencies. It is this inherent triple characteristic of the output impedance that causes the appearance of double kinks phenomenon of S/sub 22/ in a Smith chart. Our model can not only predict the behavior of S/sub 22/, but also calculate all S-parameters accurately. Experimental data of 0.25-/spl mu/m-gate MOSFETs are used to verify our theory.
