Abstract: The minimal achievable phase noise (PN) of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) is bounded by the smallest realizable inductor with a reasonable high quality factor ( ${Q}$ ). A multi-core VCO reduces the total equivalent… read more here.

Abstract: In this article, we present a circuit technique to design a wide tuning range (TR) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The employed technique extends the TR with a minimal adverse effect on the phase noise (PN). In… read more here.
