Wireless transceivers closely specify the phase noise in the local oscillator. Yet it is not very well understood how phase noise is predicted, especially in oscillators which do not use a passive resonator. It is also difficult to model flicker noise in the close-in phase noise spectrum. This is a qualitative discussion of the various physical processes responsible for phase noise production, particularly in CMOS oscillators, and it offers a common treatment of resonator-based oscillators, ring oscillators, and relaxation oscillators.
