In this paper, we present a new method for the modeling and characterization of oscillator circuit with a Van Der Pol (VDP) model using parameter identification. We also discussed and investigated the problem of estimation in nonlinear system based on time domain data. The approach is based on an appropriate state space representation of Van der Pol oscillator that allows an optimal parameter estimation. Using sampled output voltage signal, model parameters are obtained by an iterative identification algorithm based on Output Error method. Normalization issues are fixed by an appropriate transformation allowing a quickly global minimum search. Finally, the proposed estimation method is tested and validated using simulation data from a 1 GHz oscillator circuit in GaAs technology.

This paper describes a new association of a high-Q pseudo 8-path switched-capacitor (S-C) bandpass filter and its command circuit made up by a ring VCO with 'XOR' gates. The proposed circuit presents the possibility of tuning over a radio-frequency (RF) broadband allowing to sweep different channels with a high quality factor. Designed with CMOS process (0.35 µm, for instance), this circuit is intended to replace the surface acoustic wave (SAW) filters in modern wireless receivers. Measurements carried out on a circuit demonstrator show a tunable center frequency range of 200 MHz [300-500 MHz], with a quality factor higher than 300.
