ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 6 -- United States Patent no. 12,381,564, issued on Aug. 5, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Phase noise reduction by controlling biasing for adjustable oscillators with cross-coupled transistors" was invented by Kevin Jia-Nong Wang (Poway, Calif.) and Luis Chen (Chula Vista, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide methods and apparatus for minimizing, or at least reducing, a bias noise contribution to phase noise in an oscillator circuit. One example oscillator circuit generally includes an oscillator configured to generate an oscillating signal, an adjustable bias circuit coupled to a bias input of the oscillat...
