Frequency Precision of Oscillators Based on High-Q Resonators
Eyal Kenig, M. C. Cross
We present a method for analyzing the phase noise of oscillators based on feedback driven high quality factor resonators. Our approach is to derive the phase drift of the oscillato…
Phase noise of oscillators with unsaturated amplifiers
Eyal Kenig, M. C. Cross, Jeff Moehlis +1
We study the role of amplifier saturation in eliminating feedback noise in self-sustained oscillators. We extend previous works that use a saturated amplifier to quench fluctuation…
Optimal operating points of oscillators using nonlinear resonators
Eyal Kenig, M. C. Cross, L. G. Villanueva +4
We demonstrate an analytical method for calculating the phase sensitivity of a class of oscillators whose phase does not affect the time evolution of the other dynamic variables. W…
A Nanoscale Parametric Feedback Oscillator
L. Guillermo Villanueva, Rassul B. Karabalin, Matthew H. Matheny +3
We describe and demonstrate a new oscillator topology, the parametric feedback oscillator (PFO). The PFO paradigm is applicable to a wide variety of nanoscale devices, and opens th…
Surpassing fundamental limits of oscillators using nonlinear resonators
L. G. Villanueva, E. Kenig, R. B. Karabalin +4
Self-sustained oscillators are ubiquitous and essential for metrology, communications, time reference, and geolocation. In its most basic form an oscillator consists of a resonator…
A Passive Phase Noise Cancellation Element
Eyal Kenig, M. C. Cross, Ron Lifshitz +4
We introduce a new method for reducing phase noise in oscillators, thereby improving their frequency precision. The noise reduction device consists of a pair of coupled nonlinear r…
