Design of a 24GHz Low Phase-Noise, Wide Tuning-Range VCO with Optimized Switches in Capacitor Array and Bias Filtering Technique

摘要：

A low phase-noise 24GHz VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) for mm-wave WLANs (wireless LANs) using IBM 90nm CMOS process is presented. A current source is used to minimize the impact due to the process ? variation. Biasing filter technique is adopted to improve the phase noise performance. In addition, optimized switches are proposed to prevent phase noise degradation. Simulation shows that -101dBc/Hz phase noise is achieved at 1MHz offset. The tuning range of the VCO spans from 24.2GHz to 29.1GHz. Total power consumption of the VCO core is 2.8mW from 0.8V supply.
