Start-up robustness against resonator-Qs defects in a 2-GHz FBAR VCO
The root locus (RL) method is used to analyze the start-up robustness of a two-stage dual-resonator high-Q VCO. The VCO includes a parallel LC tank and an above-IC FBAR (fs = 2.15 GHz, Qs = 515) that is prone to contact defects during above-IC post-processing. Results obtained after careful circuit modeling explain the VCO's start-up on f1 before transitioning to and settling on the desired frequency f0. The RL approach is shown to be effective in obtaining the constraints on resonator Qs and revealing VCO failure modes. Only severe fabrication defects (Qs <; 100) inhibit proper start-up on f0.
