IRadiation Induced SET Impact on DG-FINFET based LC-VCO Design

Design and Simulation of an X Band LC VCO

In this paper, a systematic method for the circuit parameters design of a monolithic LC Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) is reported. The method is based on the negative resistance generation technique. As a result, a VCO has been designed in 0.18um CMOS technology using a conventional VCO structure to obtain the optimum values for the phase noise and power consumption. The simulation result...

Implementation of a Power Optimized Lc Vco & Mixer Co-design

LC-active VCO for CMOS RF transceivers

A novel fully integrated CMOS LC tank VCO is presented. The LC tanks are implemented by exploiting the active circuit ‘boot-strapped inductor’ (BSI), which behaves like a high-quality factor inductor. Particularly, the LC tanks have been implemented by introducing a new version of the CMOS BSI circuit, which provides better versatility and design reliability. In order to verify the effectivenes...

New capacitive coupled superharmonic quadrature LC-VCO

A study of some reported LC quadrature voltagecontrolled oscillators (LC-QVCO) is performed in which it is shown that robustness of the quadrature oscillation varies depending on the coupling configuration. Next, a new superharmonic LC-QVCO is proposed in which the common source node in either of two identical crossconnected LC-VCOs is coupled via a capacitor to the node common between the two ...

OOK Transmitter in 32 nm DG FinFET Technology

There are several 60 GHz transceiver architectures that have been explored and reported in the past employing the On Off Keying (OOK) Modulation. All of these designs are primarily based on the conventional bulk CMOS architecture. In this paper, we propose a power efficient double gate (DG) MOSFET based OOK Transmitter in 32 nm DG FinFET technology. The proposed novel OOK modulator consists of ...
