摘要: As CMOS scales down and sees is cost per mm2 increasing, area-aware RF design solutions are called for. Integrated inductors with multiple taps allow for low-area multi-band circuit design. This work reports on the of these provides modelling extraction procedures demonstrated 4-port measurements. Additionally, application such a switchable dual-band VCO in 90 nm an area only 0.04 mm2. Dual-band operation around 3.5 10 GHz achieved, high FOM 182 dB. performance demonstrates opportunities using tapped high-performance
