OscillatorPhaseNoise-Tutorial326IEEE JOURNAL OF SOLID-STATE CIRCUITS, VOL. 35, NO. 3, MARCH 2000Oscillator Phase Noise: A TutorialThomas H. Lee, Member, IEEE, and Ali Hajimiri, Member, IEEEAbstract―Linear time-invariant (LTI) phase noise theories provide important qualitative design insights but are limited in their quantitative predictive power. Part of the difficulty is that device noise undergoes multiple frequency translations to become oscillator phase noise. A quantitative understanding of this process requires abandoning the principle of time invariance assumed in most older theories of phase noise. Fortunately, the noise-to-phase transfer function of oscillators is still linear, despite the existence of the nonlinearities necessary for amplitude stabilization. In addition to providing a quantitative reco……
