摘要: In this paper, the authors present a fully integrated VCO with 32% tuning range centered at 38.9 GHz. The was designed using commercially available, inexpensive 0.8 μm Si/SiGe HBT technology fT and fmax of 80 90 GHz, respectively. It consumes 195 mW DC power provides an output more than 5 dBm. A phase noise -93 dBc/Hz 1 MHz offset measured for free running VCO.
