  • Abstract
    The paper presents a new 6.5 GHz oscillator designed in a 0.5 μm silicon-on-sapphire CMOS technology. This new structure is based on the principle of frequency multiplication integrated in the same stage as the generator. The layout particularities of it are presented in the case of an 8.5 GHz fully integrated oscillator in the previous SOS technology that has an fT of 35 GHz. Given measurements results prove the functionality of our design.
