In this work an RC oscillator, operating at 404.5MHz, MICS (Medical Implant Communication Service) band, is evaluated for both ASK/FSK modulation and injection locking based FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) demodulation. The oscillator, which consists of a cross-coupled relaxation topology, is analyzed and evaluated in 130 nm IBM CMOS technology. Injection locking is driven by a differential current signal. ASK (Amplitude Shift Keying) and FSK modulation are performed by controlling the cross-coupled bias current and the MOS varactor capacitance respectively. Simulation results show that, at the free-running frequency of 404.5 MHz, the oscillator presents a phase noise of -126.36 and -133 dBc/Hz at 1MHz and 10 MHz offset frequency respectively, while consuming 50 micro Watts of power from a 1V supply voltage. The oscillator frequency locking range, for a 1 micro Ampère injected current, is 398 MHz to 410 MHz which covers the whole MICS band.
在这项工作中,RC振荡器工作在404.5MHz, MICS(医疗植入通信服务)频段,对ASK/FSK调制和基于注入锁定的FSK(频移键控)解调进行了评估。该振荡器由交叉耦合弛豫拓扑组成,并在130 nm IBM CMOS技术上进行了分析和评估。注入锁是由差分电流信号驱动的。通过控制交叉耦合偏置电流和MOS变容电容分别实现了ASK(移幅键控)和FSK调制。仿真结果表明,在自由运行频率为404.5 MHz时,振荡器在1MHz和10mhz偏置频率下的相位噪声分别为-126.36和-133 dBc/Hz,而在1V电源电压下功耗为50微瓦。对于1微安培注入电流,振荡器频率锁定范围为398 MHz至410 MHz,覆盖整个MICS频段。
