Its structure is analyzed and the main parameters are proposed. A monolithic LC-tuned voltage controlled oscillator (LCVCO) with low phase noise is fabricated with TSMC 0.18μm RF (radio frequency) CMOS technology. The measured phase noise is - ll7dBc/Hz at 4MHz off the center frequency of 4. 189GHz. A down-scaling circuit with low power dissipation was fabricated in a TSMC 0.18μm mixed-signal CMOS process. The measured results show that the IC can work well under a 1.8V power supply. Its total power dissipation is only 13mW.展开更多
