Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a multiphase mode VCO circuit, and more particularly to a multiphase mode VCO circuit capable of covering a plurality of frequency bands with a circuit using an in-phase and an anti-phase structure and a quadrature structure. .
A VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) is a device that generates a linearly varying output frequency in response to a change in input voltage. The VCO is divided into an oscillator for outputting a sine wave and an oscillator for outputting a square wave . An oscillator that outputs a sine wave uses elements such as RC, LC, or crystal that are frequency-selective to the frequency in the feedback loop. VCO can be divided into LC-VCO and Ring-VCO depending on the structure. The LC-VCO uses the resonance between the inductor and the capacitor to generate the oscillating frequency.
At this time, the ring voltage controlled oscillator is configured to be able to find a desired frequency even if the frequency changes due to the current change. In this regard, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-0055093 (published May 25, 2011) discloses a technique of generating a current according to a trimming digital signal for trimming a frequency, adjusting the magnitude of the generated current through a resistor, And the oscillation frequency is controlled in accordance with the sum of the digital current and the analog current.
However, in such a ring voltage controlled oscillator, it is possible to generate a frequency of 2 or 4 times when generating a frequency by using a bartacker, but can not output a frequency covering the frequency band therebetween. Further, there is not disclosed a circuit in which a structure for widening various phase modes and frequency bands is implemented as a single structure.
An embodiment of the present invention can output frequencies in various phases using an in-phase structure and an anti-phase structure. By implementing a transformer with an inductor, the frequency band range due to mutual inductance can be widened and a quadrature structure Phase mode VCO circuit capable of selectively widening the frequency using the inductor and covering the frequency between the frequencies according to the drainage by using the inductor. It should be understood, however, that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described technical problems, and other technical problems may exist.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a VCO having a first VCO for varying an oscillation frequency with an input voltage, an In-phase or an Anti-phase ) Structure, a third VCO connected to the first VCO in a quadrature structure, and a fourth VCO connected to the third VCO in an in-phase or anti-phase structure.
According to any of the above-mentioned objects of the present invention, it is possible to cover the frequency of all bands in one structure.
