A Wide Tuning Range, Low Phase Noise, and Area Efficient Dual-Band Millimeter-Wave CMOS VCO Based on Switching Cores

摘要

This paper presents a millimeter-wave wide tuning range voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) incorporating two switchable decoupled VCO cores. When the first core is switched on producing the low frequency band (LFB) signal and the second core is off, the
