Abstract
A novel on-chip capacitively-loaded, transmission-line-standing-wave resonator is employed in a low phase noise VCO, to achieve a measured phase noise of-117dBc/Hz at a 1MHz offset. The prototype 5 GHz VCO, implemented in 0.13 mum CMOS, dissipates 3 mW from a 1.2 V supply, and occupies a compact die area of 0.11mm2.
