Abstract

The microstrip square open loop resonator has been employed to reduce the phase noise in VCO. The microstrip square open loop resonator has the large coupling coefficient value, which makes a high Q value, and has reduced the phase noise of VCO. To increase the tuning range of VCO, varactor diode has been connected at the tunable negative resistance in VCO. The output power and harmonic characteristics of VCO has been obtained 4.83 dBm and -28.83 dBc, respectively. The phase noise of VCO has been $-112.33{\sim}-116.16dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz in the tuning range, $5.735{\sim}5.845GHz$.

마이크로스트립 개방형 루프 공진기는 발진기의 위상 잡음을 줄이기 위해서 적용되었다. 마이크로스트립 스퀘어 개방형 루프 공진기는 큰 결합 계수 값을 가지고, 이로 인해 높은 Q 값을 가지며 전압 제어 발진기의 위상잡음을 감소시킨다. 전압 제어 발진기의 주파수 조절 범위를 증가시키기 위하여 버랙터 다이오드가 전압 제어발진기의 조절 가능한 부성 저항에 연결되어졌다. 전압 제어 발진기의 출력 파워와 하모닉 특성은 각각 4.83dBm과 -28.83 dBc이다. 위상 잡음 특성은 주파수 조절 범위 $5.735{\sim}5.845GHz$에서 $-112.33{\sim}-116.16dBc/Hz$ @ 100 kHz이다.
