Analysis of inductance-capacitance voltage-controlled oscillators

This thesis focuses on analysis of inductance-capacitance voltage-controlled oscillators (LC VCOs), specifically, double switch cross-coupled oscillators. Fundamentals on LC VCOs, like oscillation conditions, classical LC VCO architectures, inductor and capacitor choices, and phase noise calculations are described. A detailed analysis of the phase noise and oscillation amplitude of double switch cross-coupled oscillators follows. Tail imperfections of cross-coupled oscillators are also discussed, and a brief design guideline is introduced.
