Student project: Low phase noise LC-oscillator with start-up help
Research & development - Eindhoven | Just now
Student project: Low phase noise LC-oscillator with start-up help
Design a novel, low-noise LC oscillator for modern RF transceivers.
What you will do
- Understand the impulse sensitivity function (ISF) for LC-oscillators.
- Model the relationship of ISF with bias currents over a period of oscillation.
- Design a LC oscillator where the angle of conduction is substantiantially less than 180 degrees.
- Design a startup circuit that ensures that the oscillator is able to start over various process, temperature and supply corners.
- Do final layout and parasitic extraction so that the post-layout simulations still reach a FoM for oscillator higher than -190dBc/Hz.
What we do for you
Ultra-low power Radio Frequency integrated circuit design group in IMEC Holst centre is one of the premier research and development groups in Europe in this field. We will help you to finish a graduation/MSc thesis project that can lead to a publication.Who you are
- Knows the basics semiconductor physics including CMOS devices, noise and radio frequency electronics concepts.
- Knows the basics of use circuit schematics, simulation and physical layout design.
- Is prepared to learn and think outside of box.
