IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Electronics
A 5 GHz Band Low Noise and Wide Tuning Range Si-CMOS VCO with a Novel Varactors Pair Circuit
Summary :
In this paper, a fully integrated 5 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is presented. The VCO is designed with 0.18 µm silicon complementary metal oxide semiconductor (Si-CMOS) process. To achieve low phase noise, a novel varactors pair circuit is proposed to cancel effects of capacitance fluctuation that makes harmonic currents which increase phase noise of VCO. The VCO with the proposed varactor circuit has tuning range from 5.1 GHz to 6.1 GHz (relative value of 17.9%) and phase noise of lower than -110.8 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset over the full tuning range. Figure-of-merit-with-tuning-range (FOMT) of the proposed VCO is -182 dBc/Hz.
