Abstract :
This paper describes the STPCR (stubs-tuned planar coupled resonators) based VCO that offers cost-effective and integrable alternative for DRO (dielectric resonator oscillators) circuits. The measured phase noise is typically -122 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset from a 12 GHz with 400 MHz tuning, and 13.8 % DC-to-RF conversion efficiency.
