Abstract :
By exploiting the intrinsic multiple oscillation modes of a standing-wave oscillator, a dual-band millimeter-wave VCO is designed. Implemented in 0.13μm CMOS with an area of 0.05mm2, the VCO prototype measures a dual-band operation at 24 GHz and 60 GHz with tuning range of 10.8% and 7.2%, phase noise of -120dBc/Hz and -114dBc/Hz at 10MHz offset, power consumption of 11mW and 24mW, corresponding to FoM of -177dB and -176dB, respectively.
