A low phase noise tuned-input tuned-output (TITO) voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) using PMOS transistors is presented in this article. The TITO-VCO. implemented using a 0.18 mu m RF CMOS process, resulted in a phase noise performance of -118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the center frequency of 4.7 GHz. The figure-of-merit of the TITO-VCO was 188 dB. To the author's knowledge, this is the first report on the measured performance of differential TITO-VCO implemented using PMOS transistors.
