60 GHz CMOS VCO with Transformer Coupling Network

Abstract

This paper reports a novel voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) circuit topology based on a transformer-coupled π network. As a case study, the proposed VCO circuit topology has been designed and studied for 60 GHz... [ view full abstract ]
