RF CMOS low-phase-noise LC oscillator through memory reduction tail transistor

Based on the understanding of flicker noise generation in “silicon metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors” (MOSFETs), a novel method for improving the phase noise performance of a CMOS LC oscillator is presented. Zhou et al. and Hoogee have suggested that th...
