Abstract
The present disclosure describes a low-power, low-phase-noise (LPLPN) oscillator. The LPLPN oscillator includes a resonator load, an amplifier stage, and a loop gain control circuit. The resonator load is structured to resonate at a primary resonant frequency. The amplifier stage is coupled with the resonator load to develop a loop gain that peaks at the primary resonant frequency. The loop gain control circuit is coupled with the amplifier stage, and it is structured to regulate the loop gain for facilitating the amplifier stage to generate an oscillation signal at the primary resonant frequency and suppress a noise signal at a parasitic parallel resonant frequency (PPRF).
