Abstract:
A wide tuning range, low KVCO and low phase noise VCO is presented in this paper by combining fully differential active inductor (DAI), switched capacitor array and MOS-based variable capacitors. The adoption of the DAI instead of spiral inductor in the LC tank reduces the phase noise of VCO due to high Q value of DAI. The multiple tuning modes by tunable active inductor, switched capacitor array and variable capacitor make VCO have a wide tuning range of oscillation frequency and lower KVCO. Based on TSMC 0.18μm CMOS process, the VCO is verified by Advanced Design System (ADS). The results show that the oscillation frequency can be tuned from 988MHz to 4601MHz with a wide tuning bandwidth of 129.3%, and the lowest phase noise is-116.88dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset, and the KVCO is as low as 45-550MHz/V. © 2018 IEEE.
