Abstract
Rotary traveling wave oscillators (RTWOs) with distributed stubs are provided. In certain embodiments, an RTWO includes segments that are implemented using distributed stubs to mitigate flicker noise upconversion arising from transmission line dispersion. For example, a distance between the distributed stubs can be selected to intentionally generate a phase difference between transmission line modes, thereby cancelling out phase shifts due to transmission line dispersion. In particular, each segment is subdivided into multiple transmission line sections with a maintaining amplifier electrically connected to one of the sections and a tuning capacitor array connected to adjacent transmission line sections.
