چکیده
—A low-phase-noise, low-power Ka-band VoltageControlled Oscillator (VCO) using cross-coupled pair configuration is presented. The Ka-band VCO circuit uses 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The VCO has low phase noise of -114.6 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 32.12 GHz carrier frequency and can be tuned from 30.17 to 33.48 GHz. The figure of merit is -202.1 dBc/Hz. The power consumption of the VCO with 0.27 mm chip area is 1.8 mW from a 1.5 V power supply.

A low phase-noise wide tuning range VCO is a critical building block in high-performance serial interface circuits. A negativeresistance cell that has a small effective parasitic capacitance combined with high-quality LC tanks are crucial for high quality VCOs. There have been several efforts to reduce the parasitic capacitance of the basic Armstrong structure [1,2] to improve the VCO performan...
