Resonator Circuit And Amplifier Circuit

US Patent:
20130207725, Aug 15, 2013
Filed:
Jun 7, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/702444
Inventors:
Ehsan Afshari - Ithaca NY, US
Wooram Lee - Ithaca NY, US
Assignee:
CORNELL UNIVERSITY - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
H03F 7/04
H03G 3/00
US Classification:
330278, 330144
Abstract:
A passive frequency divider in a CMOS process. More specifically, an electrical distributed parametric oscillator to realize a passive CMOS frequency divider with low phase noise. Instead of using active devices, which are the main sources of noise and power consumption, an oscillation at half of the input frequency is sustained by the parametric process based on nonlinear interaction with the input signal. For example, one embodiment is a 20 GHz frequency divider utilizing a CMOS varactor and made in a 0.13 μm CMOS process. In this embodiment: (i) without any dc power consumption, 600 mV differential output amplitude can be achieved for an input amplitude of 600 mV; and (ii) the input frequency ranged from 18.5 GHz to 23.5 GHz with varactor tuning. In this embodiment, the output phase noise is almost 6 dB lower than that of the input signal for all offset frequencies up to 1 MHz. Also, a resonant parametric amplifier with a low noise figure (NF) by exploiting the noise squeezing effect. Noise squeezing occurs through the phase-sensitive amplification process and suppresses one of two quadrature components in input noise. When the input signal is only in the direction of the non-suppressed quadrature component, squeezing can lower that NF by almost 3 dB. The resonant structure of the proposed amplifier achieves the squeezing effect using a low number of LC elements.

US Patent:
20220231668, Jul 21, 2022
Filed:
Oct 14, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/501088
Inventors:
- Armonk NY, US
BODHISATWA SADHU - Peekskill NY, US
WOORAM LEE - BRIARCLIFF MANOR NY, US
International Classification:
H03H 11/32
H03D 7/14
H03B 5/12
Abstract:
A processor may calibrate a first actuator electrically coupled to a transconductance stage of the frequency conversion circuit. The transconductance stage may be configured to receive a differential signal input. Calibrating a first actuator may adjust a first basis vector associated with a differential direct current (DC) output of the transconductance stage. A processor may calibrate a second actuator electrically coupled to receive the differential current output of the transconductance stage and electrically coupled to a set of commutating devices of the frequency conversion circuit. The commutating devices may be configured to receive differential LO inputs. Calibrating a second actuator may adjust a second basis vector associated with a differential impedance of the set of commutating devices. A processor may offset responsive to adjusting the first basis vector and the second basis vector, the first leakage basis vector and second leakage basis vector of the LO leakage signal.
