Abstract :
An architecture for RF quadrature oscillators is presented, which, according to simulations, shows a figure of merit some 20 dB higher than that of other quadrature oscillators. The new quadrature oscillator compares favourably even with a state-of-the-art design of the popular negative-resistance differential oscillator
