TUNABLE FREQUENCY, LOW PHASE NOISE AND LOW THERMAL DRIFT OSCILLATOR

摘要

An oscillator (200) comprising a three-terminal device (203) and circuitry (205) coupled across a first terminal (208) and a second terminal (210) of the device. The circuitry (205) is preferably operable to bias the device (203) and feedback a select amount of noise generated by the device (203) into the device so as to reduce a proportional amount of phase noise present at a third terminal (216) of the device.
