In this paper we will discuss the CMOS circuit design strategies and main results for an all-CMOS MEMS based oscillator in order to reduce the oscillator far-to-carrier noise (which is limited by the circuit noise) and the close-to-carrier noise (which is limited by both the amplifier phase noise an...
