Abstract :
A circular standing wave oscillator that generates sinusoids by forming standing waves on a ring transmission line is presented. Incorporating an even-mode suppression technique, a 10 GHz prototype realized in a SiGe bipolar technology has a phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset with a 1.95 mA current drawn from 1.5 V.
