Abstract
An architecture for RF quadrature oscillators is presented, which, accordin g to simulations, shows a figure of merit some 20 dB higher than that of ot her quadrature oscillators. The new quadrature oscillator compares favourab ly even with a state-of-the-art design of the popular negative-resistance d ifferential oscillator.
