8-GHz, 6.6-mW LC-VCO with Small Die Area and FOM of 204 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz Offset

This letter discusses the design of an 8-GHz LC-tank voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for use in a receiver chain developed for the Cerro Chajnantor Atacama Telescope Heterodyne Array Instrument. A VCO-optimization approach is proposed that reduces the phase noise (PN) and minimizes the VCO die a...
