Abstract:
A wideband LC-tuned voltage-controlled oscillator (LC-VCO) applied in LTE PLL frequency synthesizers with constant KVCO/ωosc is described. In order to minimize the loop bandwidth variations of PLL, a varactor array is proposed, which consists of a series of differential variable capacitor pairs and a series of single-pole double-throw (SPDT) switches to connect Vtune or VDD. The switches are controlled by switching bits. With this scheme, the ratio of KV = &partC var/&partVtune and the capacitance value of the capacitor array maintains relatively constant; furthermore, the loop bandwidth of the PLL fluctuation is suppressed. The 3.2-4.6-GHz VCO for multi-band LTE PLL is fabricated in a 0.13-μm RF-CMOS process. The VCO exhibits a maximum variation of KVCO/ωosc of only 4%. The VCO also exhibits a low phase-noise of-124 dBc/Hz at a 1-MHz offset frequency and a low current consumption of 18.0 mA with a 1.2-V power supply. © 2012 Chinese Institute of Electronics.
