Abstract
The reduction of phase noise in electronic systems is of utmost importance in modern communication and signal processing applications and requires an understanding of the underlying physical processes. Here, we systematically study the phase noise in mutually synchronized chains of nano-constriction spin Hall nano-oscillators (SHNOs). We find that longer chains have improved phase noise figures at low offset frequencies (1/f noise), where chains of two and ten mutually synchronized SHNOs have 2.8 and 6.2 dB lower phase noise than single SHNOs. This is close to the theoretical values of 3 and 10 dB, and the deviation is ascribed to process variations between nano-constrictions. However, at higher offset frequencies (thermal noise), the phase noise unexpectedly increases with chain length, which we ascribe to process variations, a higher operating temperature in the long chains at the same drive current and phase delays in the coupling between nano-constrictions.
