A QUADRATURE HF OSCILLATOR WITH ISOLATING AMPLIFIER

摘要

Described is a quadrature HF ring oscillator (1) comprising at least two cascaded filters (2, 3) each having a filter output (O1, O2) to be coupled to a quadrature load (ZI, ZQ), each of the two filters (2, 3) comprises an isolating amplifier (T5-T8) coupled between the filter output (O1, O2) and the quadrature load (ZI, ZQ). Advantageously the isolating amplifier forms a buffer between the oscillating core of the oscillator oscillating in the GHz range and the quadrature load, so that output frequency and amplitude are less influenced by the load.
