Abstract :
This paper presents a novel LC oscillator, capable of operating at frequencies beyond 100 GHz in a standard 0.13 mum CMOS process. A new phase noise reduction technique using higher order LC filter is introduced and theories are discussed. Custom designed coplanar waveguides from 3D electromagnetic simulation are employed, and a corresponding circuit model is extracted from an S-parameter optimization technique
