Abstract
This paper presents two new current differencing transconductance amplifiers (CDTAs)-based electronically tunable current-mode four-phase quadrature oscillators (QO). The proposed QOs consist of two CDTAs, one resistor and two grounded capacitors, respectively, which are suitable for monolithic integration. The condition of oscillation (CO) and frequency of oscillation (FO) can be independently controlled, and the FO can be electronically tunable by adjusting the bias current of the CDTA. Moreover, the QOs can provide four quadrature output currents at high-output-impedance nodes, which enable the QOs can be connected directly to the next stage without any impedance matching requirements. Cadence IC Design Tools 5.1.41 (Cadence Design Systems Inc., San Jose, CA) post-layout simulation results and experimental evidence are included to confirm the theory.
