An mm-Wave VCO with a high-speed amplitude modulation

This paper describes the design of a mm-Wave oscillator with a high-speed amplitude modulation. The oscillator can be adjusted the output voltage level according to the highspeed data signal. Additionally, it can be conducted at a low-power for wireless communications by carrying out the oscillation and modulation at the same time. We have verified that the oscillator have tuning range of 52.3-53.5 GHz, phase noise of below -100 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset, and two different amplitude levels by the simulation while consuming only 9.3 mW.
