Abstract
This work presents an analysis of phase noise in the 1/f2 region displayed by both single-ended and differential bipolar Colpitts oscillators. Very accurate and rigorous symbolic phase noise expressions are derived, enabling a deeper insight into the major mechanisms of phase noise generation, and providing new tools for design optimization. Phase noise expressions for the cross-coupled differential-pair LC-tank oscillator are derived as well. The theoretical analysis is validated on a 3 GHz differential bipolar Colpitts VCO implemented in a 0.35 mum SiGe process. Measurements show a phase noise of -123 dBc/Hz or less at 1MHz offset frequency from the 2.8-3.1 GHz carrier, for a phase noise figure-of-merit of at least 183 dBc/Hz across the tuning range. A very good agreement between theory, numerical simulations, and measurements is observed
