Abstract

An oscillator comprising a three-terminal device and circuitry coupled across a first terminal and a second terminal of the device. The circuitry is preferably operable to bias the device and feedback a select amount of noise generated by the device into the device so as to reduce a proportional amount of phase noise present at a third terminal of the device.
