Abstract

Two InP HEMT oscillator circuits are described. Both designs are identical except for the frequency-setting elements. In the first design, an open-ended stub is used to create a fixed frequency oscillator. The second design includes a HEMT diode as a varactor, producing a voltage-controlled oscillator. Several examples are of each circuit were measured on-wafer. The oscillator frequencies were between 99.5 and 102.1 GHz and the best output signal level was -6.3 dBm. The VCO circuits' tuning range varied, chip-to-chip, between 230 and 950 MHz. Average phase noise of the VCO and the fixed frequency oscillator circuits was -96.5 dBc/Hz and -98 dBc/Hz respectively at 10 MHz from the carrier.
