192 GHz Push-Push VCO in 0.13-micrometer CMOS

摘要

A 192 GHz cross-coupled push push voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is fabricated using the UMC 0.13-micrometer CMOS logic process. The VCO can be tuned from 191.4 to 192.7 GHz. The VCO provides output power of approximately--20 dBm and phase noise of approximately--100 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset, while consuming 11 mA from a 1.5 V supply.
