Summary :

In this paper, a 24GHz transformer-coupled VCO is presented for a wide linear tuning range in the 0.13-µm CMOS process. The measured results of the proposed VCO show that the center frequency is 23.5GHz with 7.4% frequency tuning range. The output frequency curve has wide linear tuning region (5.5%) at the middle of the curve. Also, the VCO exhibits good phase noise of -110.23dBc/Hz at an offset frequency of 1 MHz. It has a compact chip size of 430 × 500µm2. The VCO core DC power consumption is 5.4mW at 1.35V VDD.
