  Linearity, Time-Variation, Phase Modulation, and Oscillator Noise	Prof. Thomas H. Lee(Stanford University)
  	Abstract: Many theories of oscillator phase noise have been published over the last several decades. Unfortunately, many of these theories contradict one another, and others are so complex that it is difficult to extract design insights. This talk examines the topic of phase noise from a different perspective. Systems can only be linear or nonlinear, time-invariant or time-variant. We first review how one determines which of these characteristics apply to a given system. In fact, we must even be careful to define explicitly what is meant by the word "system." When we do so, we discover that the output spectrum of an oscillator is the result of two processes. The conversion of device noise into phase noise is a purely linear, but periodically time varying process. The resulting phase deviations then subsequently modulate the output to produce the final output spectrum. These processes are examined in detail, and design insights obtained along the way. A variety of practical circuit examples will be presented to reinforce the theoretical considerations.
