[0176] Generally, the value of the current flowing through the core circuit may cause a change in parasitic capacitance or the like generated in the core circuit. As a result, the output signal from the voltage-controlled oscillation circuit may not oscillate within a desired oscillation frequency range. The oscillation signal generating circuit of the present embodiment is configured to control the output signal to oscillate within a desired oscillation frequency range. A series of loops for confirming and controlling the range of the oscillation frequency in this embodiment is called a frequency range control loop.

Abstract

An oscillation signal generation circuit includes an oscillator and a calibration circuit. The oscillator includes a reference signal source circuit that has a reference signal source outputting a reference signal and converts the output reference signal into a control voltage, a filter that includes a variable resistance and a capacitance and removes noise in the control voltage, a transistor that converts the control voltage which has passed through the filter into a control current and outputs the control current, a core circuit that is driven by the control current and generates an output signal, and an output terminal that outputs the generated output signal. The calibration circuit is connected to the output terminal of the oscillator, detects whether or not the generated output signal is oscillating, and adjusts the current value of the control current by controlling the resistance value of the variable resistance in accordance with the detection result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an oscillation signal generating circuit operating in a high frequency band exceeding 100 GHz. Background technique [0002] In recent years, the frequency has decreased rapidly along with the increase in the number of uses of wireless technologies typified by communication and radar. Therefore, effective use of a frequency band higher than the millimeter wave band, that is, a frequency band exceeding 100 GHz is expected. Therefore, it is expected that a wireless IC (Integrated Circuit; integrated circuit) operating in a frequency band exceeding 100 GHz will spread widely. [0003] In general, wireless ICs are often manufactured using a semiconductor as a material and using a manufacturing method such as a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) process. However, compared with other manufacturing methods, the CMOS process has poor performance at high frequencies, and it is difficult to obtain power gain at high...
