[0033] 1 and 2 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a voltage-controlled oscillator based on transformer feedback, including:

[0034] The external coil 100 includes an external primary coil 110 and an external secondary coil 120. The external primary coil 110 includes a first coil Q1 and a second coil Q2. The external secondary coil 120 includes a third coil Q3 and a fourth coil Q4. The first coil Q1 and the third coil Q3 are fixedly connected to form a first transformer. The second coil Q2 and the fourth coil Q4 are fixedly connected to form a second transformer. One end of the first coil Q1 and one end of the third coil Q3, as well as one end of the second coil Q2 and one end of the fourth coil Q4, constitute the same-named ends of the external coil 100. The internal coil 200 is placed on the external coil. Within the coil 100, the internal coil 200 is coupled to the external coil 100. The internal coil 200 includes an internal primary coil 210 and an internal secondary coil 220. The internal primary coil 210 includes a fifth coil Q5 and a sixth coil Q6. The internal secondary coil 220 includes a seventh coil Q7 and an eighth coil Q8. The fifth coil Q5 and the eighth coil Q8 are fixedly connected to form a third transformer, and the sixth coil Q6 and the seventh coil Q7 are fixedly connected to form a fourth transformer. One end of the fifth coil Q5 and one end of the seventh coil Q7, as well as one end of the sixth coil Q6 and one end of the eighth coil Q8, form like-named ends of the internal coil 200. By coupling the first and second transformers of the external coil 100 with the third and fourth transformers of the internal coil 200, the fifth coil Q5 and the eighth coil Q8 are fixedly connected to form a third transformer, and the sixth coil Q6 and the seventh coil Q7 are fixedly connected to form a fourth transformer. One end of the fifth coil Q5 and one end of the seventh coil Q7, as well as one end of the sixth coil Q6 and one end of the eighth coil Q8, form the same-name ends of the internal coil 200. This allows the internal coil 200 to generate two symmetrical and opposite magnetic fields, thereby offsetting the coupling effect between the external coil 100 and the internal coil 200. This eliminates the need for an additional transformer within the voltage-controlled oscillator to ensure electrical performance, saves circuit area within the voltage-controlled oscillator, and thus reduces the area of ​​the voltage-controlled oscillator chip.

[0035] It is worth noting that the embodiment of the present application places the internal coil 200 inside the external coil 100, but this placement often produces a coupling effect, making it difficult to maintain the loop relationship in the circuit. In this embodiment, the fifth coil Q5 and the eighth coil Q8 in the internal coil are fixedly connected to form a third transformer, and the sixth coil Q6 and the seventh coil Q7 are fixedly connected to form a fourth transformer. Specifically, the internal primary coil 210 and the internal secondary coil 220 of the third transformer and the fourth transformer are placed in the external coil 100 in an eight-shaped structure. At this time, the current flow directions of the upper and lower parts of the eight-shaped structure of the internal coil 200 are opposite, and two symmetrical and opposite magnetic fields are generated, thereby offsetting the coupling effect generated after the internal coil is placed in the external coil, ensuring that the internal coil and the external coil can work relatively independently. Among them, the twisted topology of the eight-shaped transformer has the ability to resist interference from the magnetic coupling of adjacent inductors, allowing the eight-shaped transformer to work in an environment with strong magnetic induction.

[0036] The third transformer and the fourth transformer are both placed inside the external coil 100 in a figure-eight structure. By placing the third transformer and the fourth transformer inside the external coil 100 in a figure-eight structure, magnetic field leakage during transformer operation is reduced, and the impact of external electromagnetic interference on the transformer is reduced. In addition, the figure-eight structure can effectively utilize space and arrange the coils of the third transformer and the fourth transformer more compactly. In a limited installation space or a high-density wiring environment, the power density and assembly efficiency of the internal and external coils are improved.

[0037] Furthermore, the first transformer and the second transformer in the external coil 100 are placed symmetrically with each other. By placing the first transformer and the second transformer symmetrically with each other, a balanced distribution of the magnetic field of the external coil 100 and the symmetry of the coil are achieved, thereby improving the conversion efficiency, power transmission capability and voltage stability of the external coil 100. In addition, the symmetrical placement of the first transformer and the second transformer can reduce the interference of the same source signals between the voltage-controlled oscillators, further improving the stability and operating efficiency of the external coil 100.

[0038] It is worth noting that by placing the first transformer and the second transformer symmetrically with each other, disturbances can be reduced. For example, asymmetry of external current or external voltage may increase the instability of the transformer output. Symmetrical placement can improve the stability and reliability of the transformer.

[0039] As a further optional embodiment, the first coil Q1 is wound from the inner circumference toward the outer circumference, and the third coil Q3 is wound from the inner circumference toward the outer circumference and stacked on the first coil Q1. By stacking the third coil Q3 with the first coil Q1, the mutual inductance effect between the first coil Q1 and the third coil Q3 is enhanced, thereby achieving higher energy transmission efficiency and signal coupling. Furthermore, by stacking the third coil Q3 on the first coil Q1, a compact coil layout is achieved, thereby reducing the number of transformers in the voltage-controlled oscillator and the layout area of ​​the external coils.

[0040] Specifically, after one end of the first coil Q1 is placed, it is wound along the inner circumference of the external coil 100, and the winding shape is adapted to the outer circumference shape of the internal coil 200. After the first coil Q1 is wound around one circle, the other end of the first coil Q1 is stacked and placed on one end of the second coil Q2; after one end of the second coil Q2 is fixed, it is placed along the outer edge of the first coil Q1, and after winding half a circle, the other end of the second coil Q2 is fixed; after one end of the third coil Q3 is placed, it is wound along the inner circumference of the external coil 100, and the winding shape is adapted to the outer circumference shape of the internal coil 200. After the third coil Q3 is wound around one circle, the other end of the third coil Q3 is stacked and placed on one end of the fourth coil Q4; after one end of the fourth coil Q4 is fixed, it is placed along the outer edge of the third coil Q3, and after winding half a circle, the other end of the fourth coil Q4 is fixed, thereby completing the placement of the external coil 100.

[0041] After the fifth coil Q5 is placed along the left side of the lower half and the right side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure, it is stacked with the eighth coil Q8. The eighth coil Q8 is also stacked along the left side of the upper half and the right side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure, completing the placement of the third transformer. By stacking the fifth coil Q5 and the eighth coil Q8 at different locations along the figure-eight structure, the mutual inductance between the fifth coil Q5 and the eighth coil Q8 is enhanced, the compact layout of the internal coil 200 is strengthened, and the flexibility of the transformer arrangement within the internal coils is increased. By optimizing the layout and stacking of the fifth coil Q5 and the eighth coil Q8, the electromagnetic characteristics of the voltage-controlled oscillator are further improved, thereby enhancing the stability of the transformer circuit.

[0042] Specifically, when placing the internal coil 200, one end of the fifth coil Q5 is fixed, and the fifth coil Q5 is placed along the left side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure and the right side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure, and the other end of the fifth coil Q5 is placed, and one end of the eighth coil Q8 is stacked with the other end of the fifth coil Q5. After one end of the eighth coil Q8 is placed, the eighth coil Q8 is placed along the left side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure and the right side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure, and the other end of the eighth coil Q8 is placed, thereby completing the placement of the third transformer.

[0043] After the sixth coil Q6 is placed along the right side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure and the left side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure, it is stacked with the seventh coil Q7. The seventh coil Q7 is then placed along the right side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure and the left side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure, completing the placement of the fourth transformer. It is worth noting that one end of the sixth coil Q6 is fixed, and the sixth coil Q6 is placed along the right side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure and the left side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure. The other end of the sixth coil Q6 is then placed, and one end of the seventh coil Q7 is stacked with the other end of the sixth coil Q6. After one end of the seventh coil Q7 is placed, the seventh coil Q7 is placed along the right side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure and the left side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure, and the other end of the seventh coil Q7 is placed, thus completing the placement of the fourth transformer.

[0044] Among them, the third transformer and the fourth transformer are symmetrically placed along the center line of the figure-eight structure, so that the magnetic fields of the third transformer and the fourth transformer are evenly distributed in the figure-eight structure, reducing the magnetic field imbalance caused by leakage magnetic flux. In addition, when placing multiple transformers, they can be placed at a time along the left and right sides of the upper and lower parts of the figure-eight structure. When the transformer circuit needs to use multiple transformers, the area of ​​the transformer circuit is saved to the maximum extent, thereby reducing the chip area of ​​the voltage-controlled oscillator.

[0045] It is worth noting that the external coil 100 and the internal coil 200 are mutually coupled, and the internal coil 200 is a same-layer metal figure-eight transformer coil, which has obvious features and is easy to identify.

[0046] As a further optional embodiment, the external primary coil 110, the external secondary coil 120, the internal primary coil 210 and the internal secondary coil 220 are all made of the same layer of metal wires. The same layer of metal wires has lower metal properties, can effectively reduce resistance loss, improve the efficiency of energy transmission between transformers, reduce transmission loss in the transformer, and make the coils have a higher quality factor and symmetry.

[0047] 3 , an embodiment of the present application further provides a method for assembling a voltage-controlled oscillator based on transformer feedback, comprising:

[0048] S100: Fixedly connect the first coil and the third coil to form a first transformer, and fixedly connect the second coil and the fourth coil to form a second transformer, wherein the first transformer and the second transformer constitute an external coil, one end of the first coil and one end of the third coil are the same-named ends, and one end of the second coil and one end of the fourth coil are the same-named ends;

The eighth coil is placed along the left side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure and the right side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure, completing the placement of the third transformer;

[0051] S400, after the sixth coil is placed along the right side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure and the left side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure, it is overlapped with the seventh coil. The seventh coil is placed along the right side of the upper half of the figure-eight structure and the left side of the lower half of the figure-eight structure, completing the placement of the fourth transformer.

[0052] The above-mentioned assembly method of the voltage-controlled oscillator based on transformer feedback is as follows: the first transformer and the second transformer of the external coil are coupled with the third transformer and the fourth transformer of the internal coil, the fifth coil and the eighth coil are fixedly connected to form a third transformer, the sixth coil and the seventh coil are fixedly connected to form a fourth transformer, one end of the fifth coil and one end of the seventh coil, and one end of the sixth coil and one end of the eighth coil form the same-name ends of the internal coil, so that the internal coil generates two symmetrical and opposite magnetic fields, thereby offsetting the coupling effect between the primary coil and the secondary coil, so that there is no need to add an additional transformer inside the voltage-controlled oscillator to ensure electrical performance, saving the circuit area inside the voltage-controlled oscillator, and thus reducing the area of ​​the voltage-controlled oscillator chip.
