Abstract :
This paper presents a CMOS voltage controlled oscillator for multi standard wireless transceivers. The VCO structure is based on All- PMOS LC oscillators. The frequency range extends from 1.7 GHz to 2.5 GH, and tuning between frequencies is done by means of capacitor banks and varactors.
