10 MHz CMOS OTA-C voltage-controlled quadrature oscillator

Abstract
A quadrature-type voltage-controlled oscillator with operational transconductance amplifiers and capacitors (OTA-C is presented. A monolithic integrated CMOS test circuit is introduced to verify theoretical results. The attainable frequency range of oscillation of the chip test circuit is 3–10.34 MHz. The total harmonic distortion (THD) is 020– 1.87% for corresponding peak-to-peak amplitude voltages between 100 mV and 1 V. This amplitude can be controlled either by using a diode connection of two MOS transistors or a proposed nonlinear resistor.
