초록

본 논문은 BJT 클랩 전압제어 발진기의 공진기에서 최대 발진전압 도출을 위한 기법에 관한 연구이다. 제시된 기법을 사용함으로써 주어진 바이어스 조건과 중심 주파수에서 공진기에 유도되는 발진 신호의 크기를 최대로 하는 최적 제환 커패시턴스 값을 찾아낼 수 있다. 이렇게 함으로써, BJT 클랩 전압제어 발진기의 위상잡음은 최소 값을 갖게 된다. 제작된 발진기의 측정 결과로부터 최적 커패시턴스 값을 갖는 발진기가 실제로 가장 낮은 위상잡음을 나타냄을 확인 할 수 있었다.

A technique used to induce maximum oscillating voltage in the BJT Clapp VCO is presented. The technique finds the optimal feedback capacitance values resulting in the largest oscillating signal swing across the resonator at a given bias state and the VCO's center frequency. By doing so, the presented technique attains the lowest phase noise which the BJT Clapp VCO can have. An analysis of the measurement results of the fabricated oscillators has verified that the VCO with the optimal feedback capacitance values actually exhibits the lowest phase noise.
