A fully integrated dual-band VCO by 0.18 lm CMOS technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dual-band monolithic voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) has been fabricated by using the 0.18 lm 1P6M CMOS technologies. The switching transistors concept used in the tank circuit realizes the dual-band VCO operation. In order to reduce the phase noise, the pMOS transistors were used in the VCO design. The dual-band VCO demonstrates the phase noise (100 kHz offset) of )98 dBc/Hz at 2.6 GHz and )91 dBc/Hz at 5.2 GHz. 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Analysis and Design of X Band CMOS Quadruture VCO using Transformer-Resonator Coupling with Deep mode switching
A fully integrated X-Band quadrature VCO is presented. The VCO is implemented using transformer-coupled resonator in 0.18 μm CMOS technology, in which two VCOs are coupled by direct current modulation method to generate I-Q signals. The VCO is realized employing the drain-gate transformer feedback configuration proposed here. This allows VCO to use the quality factor enhancement in coupled reso...
