4I-1. Thermally Stable Oscillator at 2.5 GHz Using Compensated BAW Resonator and Its Integrated Temperature Sensor

This paper presents a miniaturized 2.5GHz frequency source based on compensated BAW resonator with its integrated temperature molybdenum sensor assembled on the differential Colpitts oscillator. The presence of silicon dioxide layer having a positive temperature coefficient compared to other layers is used to reduce the resonator’s drift. A demonstration oscillator achieves a frequency drift of 40 ppm over a temperature range from -35°C to +85°C. The oscillator’s phase noise of -94dBc/Hz at 2 KHz offset from the carrier is reported.
