摘要

A low-voltage differential voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is designed and implemented in a 90-nm CMOS 1P9M process. The designed circuit topology is an nMOS-core cross-coupled LC-tank VCO robust to process. voltage and temperature variation. At the supply voltage of 0.4 V, the output phase noise of the VCO is -108.78 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset frequency front the carrier frequency of 10.13 GHz, and the figure of merit is -187.68 dBc/Hz. The power consumption is 1.32 mW. Tuning range is about 3.62 GHz. from 9.15 to 12.77 GHz, while the control voltage was tuned from 0 to 1.0 V.
