Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 153, 45-50, 2025
Abstract
This paper presents a low phase noise positive feedback type Push-Push oscillator employing a balanced bandpass filter (BPF). The BPF consists of an array of split-ring resonators and functions as a frequency selective element in the common feedback loop of the oscillator. Two positive feedback oscillators are coupled to create the 180-degree differential signals required for the implementation of a Push-Push oscillator. The proposed oscillator is analyzed and fabricated. The measured results show that the oscillator works at 15.15 GHz of the second harmonic frequency with an output power of -5.6 dBm. Furthermore, the suppression of fundamental frequency signal is 25.2 dB. Excellent phase noise performance of -100.37 dBc/Hz at 100-kHz offset frequency and -127.13 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset frequency is obtained.
