Abstract :
The paper introduces a new approach for the design of multi-band distributed VCOs for mobile TLC applications. The techniques exploits the potentialities of a switched-capacitor approach, joint to, the versatility of a distribute VCO. The design procedure is discussed. The measured characteristics of a hybrid prototype are reported, validating the potentialities of the approach.
