Abstract

This paper presents a novel defected ground structure (DGS) and its application to a microwave oscillator. The presented oscillator is designed so as to use the suggested defected ground structure as a feedback loop inducing a negative resistance as well as a frequency-selective circuit. Applying the feedback loop between the drain and the gate of a FET device produces precise phase conversion in the feedback loop. The equivalent circuit parameters of the DGS are extracted by using a three-dimensional EM calculations and simple circuit analysis method. The implemented 1.07 GHz oscillator exhibits 0 dBm output power with over 15% dc-to-RF power efficiency and -106 dBc/Hz phase noise at 100 kHz offset from carrier.
