Abstract

An intuitive yet sufficiently accurate analysis of the phase noise performance of various commonly used oscillator topologies, including most types of class-B (standard and with tail filter), class-C, transformer-based and class-F is used to compare their fundamental limitation. The excess noise factor, that represents the difference between the maximum achievable Figure of Merit (for a given quality factor) and the actual one is evaluated for several state-of the-art implementations.
