Abstract :
The "global roaming" features between wide varieties of networks operating at different frequencies call for the development of configurable RF signal source (VCO). The VCO design approach demonstrated in this work can offer low cost configurable VCO, which is amenable for integration in present integrated circuit (IC) technology. The measured phase noise is - 132 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from the carrier over the tuning range (450-1250MHz/900-2500MHz), and the topology can be easily extended to higher frequency band.
