Phase Noise and Jitter in CMOS Ring Oscillators

by
Asad A. Abidi, Fellow, IEEE

Abstract—A simple, physically based analysis illustrate the noise
processes inCMOSinverter-based and differential ring oscillators.
A time-domain jitter calculation method is used to analyze the effects
of white noise, while random VCO modulation most straightforwardly
accounts for flicker (1/f ) noise. Analysis shows that
in differential ring oscillators, white noise in the differential pairs
dominates the jitter and phase noise, whereas the phase noise due
to flicker noise arises mainly from the tail current control circuit.
This is validated by simulation and measurement. Straightforward
expressions for period jitter and phase noise enable manual design
of a ring oscillator to specifications, and guide the choice between
ring and LC oscillator.

Awards

ISSCC Top Ten Author Professor Abidi was named among the top ten authors in the 50-year history of the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the most prestigious design conference in the semiconductor industry. This is the first industry-wide recognition that UCLA's Integrated Circuits & Systems research is among the top three such programs worldwide.

2002 ISLPED Award Asad Abidi and his student Sohrab Samadian won a Low Power Design Contest Award for the paper "Demodulators for a Zero IF Receiver for Bluetooth" at the 2002 International Symposium on Low-Power Electronics and Design. Learn more about Abidi's research at www.icsl.ucla.edu/aagroup/ .

2000 IEEE Third Millennium Medal The Third Millennium Medals were created by the IEEE in celebration of the new millennium. 45 of these Medals were allocated to the Solid States Circuits Society. The Society decided to award its allocation of the medals to individuals who have rendered outstanding service to the Society and Council over the years and who played important roles in their success in recognition of those whose time and effort have contributed so much to its progress. Prof. Abidi is one of these individuals. He received the medal in a special ceremony on February 6, 2000.

1998 Design Contest Award Every year the Design Automation Conference, the premier Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and silicon solution event, presents the annual Design Contest Award to full-time undergraduate and graduate students at universities and colleges; the purpose is to promote excellence in the design of electronic systems by providing competition between graduate and undergraduate students at universities and colleges. Along with his students, Prof. Abidi was a co recipient of the 1998 Design Contest Award.

1997 ISSCC Jack Raper Outstanding Technology Directions Paper Award Prof. Abidi received the Jack Raper Outstanding Technology Directions Paper Award of the 1997 International Solid State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) for the paper entitled "The Future of CMOS Wireless Transceivers".  This award is particularly prestigious as ISSCC is one of the flagship IEEE conferences, where the world's leading innovations in analog circuits, communication circuits, microprocessors, memory technologies, and systems integration are presented.

1997 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Award Prof. Abidi received the 1997 IEEE Donald G. Fink Prize Award, which is awarded by the IEEE Awards Board to the author of the best review, tutorial, or survey paper to appear in all IEEE transactions and journals for a given year. Professor Abidi was named recipient for his paper entitled "Low-Power Radio-Frequency IC's for Portable Communications",  which appeared in the Proceedings of the IEEE, vol. 83, no. 4, April 1995, pp. 544-569. This award recognizes the pioneering research achievements of Professor Abidi in CMOS RF technology.

1996 Best Paper Award of the 21st European Solid State Circuits Conference Prof. Abidi and his group received the Best Paper Award of the 21st European Solid State Circuits Conference for their paper, "A 1GHz CMOS RF Front-End IC with Wide Dynamic Range".  This award, presented at the opening of ESSCIRC'96 on September 17, in Neufchatel, Switzerland, is further recognition of Prof. Abidi's continued leadership in the development of the CMOS radio.

1996 IEEE Fellow In 1996 Prof. Abidi received recognition for his work in solid states by being named as a Fellow of the IEEE, for contributions to the design of high-frequency MOS analog integrated circuits.

Software-defined radio receiver: dream to reality.
R. Bagheri, A. Mirzaei, M.E. Heidari, S. Chehrazi, M. Lee, M. Mikhemar, W.K. Tang, and A.A Abidi.
IEEE Communications Magazine, vol.44, no.8, pp. 111-118, August 2006

ABSTRACT
This article describes a fully integrated 90 nm
CMOS software-defined radio receiver operating
in the 800 MHz to 5 GHz band. Unlike the classical
SDR paradigm, which digitizes the whole
spectrum uniformly, this receiver acts as a signal
conditioner for the analog-to-digital converters,
emphasizing only the wanted channel. Thus, the
ADCs operate with modest resolution and sample
rate, consuming low power. This approach
makes portable SDR a reality.

Mode-2 MB-OFDM UWB Communication

by
Aly Ismail and Asad A. Abidi, Fellow, IEEE

Abstract—A direct conversion receiver for ultra-wideband
(UWB) applications operates for 3.1 to 8.2 GHz and gives a noise
figure of 3.3 to 4.1 dB and a conversion gain of 52 dB. The chip
includes the RF receive chain and a 16-GHz quadrature VCO
to generate seven carrier frequencies from 3.4 to 7.9 GHz. The
circuit was fabricated in a 0.18- m SiGe BiCMOS process and
consumes 88 mA from a 2.7-V supply.

Index Terms—Amplifier noise, direct frequency synthesizer,
low-noise amplifier, noise figure, SiGe amplifier, spurs, spurs
analysis, ultra-wideband, wideband matching.
