A trade-off between noise and power was realized through the optimization of the improved current source. The VCO can be tuned from 2.83 to 3.25GHz with a 13.8% tuning range. The measured phase noise at 1MHz offset is -111dBc/Hz at a frequency of 3.22GHz while the core circuit draws less than 2mA from a 1.8V supply voltage. These results make the circuit suitable for a 5GHz wireless local area network （WLAN） receiver and 3.4 to 3.6GHz world interoperability for microwave access （WiMAX） application.展开更多
