Abstract

The invention relates to a voltage-controlled oscillator which comprises a voltage-controlled oscillating circuit. The voltage-controlled oscillating circuit comprises an LC resonance unit, an oscillation-starting oscillating unit and a bias voltage adjustment unit. The oscillation-starting oscillating unit comprises a first transistor and a second transistor which are in cross coupling, the drain of the first transistor and the drain of the second transistor are connected with the two ends of a differential inductor of the LC resonance unit respectively, the voltage of the drains is changed along with changes of the same bias voltage, and the sources receive the same bias current. The bias voltage adjustment unit provides the bias voltage to the oscillation-starting oscillating unit and adjusts the bias voltage to enable conductive angles of the first transistor and the second transistor to be changed from 0 degree to 180 degrees, and therefore the LC resonance unit starts to oscillate in a CLASS-AB mode and oscillates in a CLASS-C mode. In addition, the voltage-controlled oscillating circuit is provided with a bias current adjustment unit, and the bias current adjustment unit provides the bias current to the oscillation-starting oscillating unit to achieve power dissipation configuration and phase noise configuration.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a voltage-controlled oscillator for a radio frequency chip, in particular to a voltage-controlled oscillator that is easy to start-up and has low power consumption. Background technique [0002] Since the Wi-Fi frequency band does not require any telecom operation license worldwide, WLAN wireless equipment provides a wireless air interface that can be used worldwide, with extremely low cost and extremely high data bandwidth. In recent years, as Wi-Fi coverage has become wider and wider, people have become more and more concerned about them. Users can not only realize Bluetooth transmission, high-definition video transmission, and wireless video monitoring in the Wi-Fi coverage area, but also can perform medical, smart home and other applications. Currently, Wi-Fi has many frequency bands, such as 2.4-2.5GHz worldwide, 902-928MHz in the United States, 863-868MHz in Europe, 755-787MHz in China, and 950-968MHz in Japan. Faced with a ...
