Abstract:
A wideband 148-188 GHz push-push voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is presented. The frequency tuning is performed using a varactor, and a variable inductor optimally designed for wide inductance tuning range. At a center frequency of 168GHz, a frequency tuning range of 40GHz (23.8%) is achieved, which is a record value for VCOs at this frequency range. Measured minimum phase noise is -91 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset. The fundamental and 2nd harmonic output of the VCO are connected to frequency divi... »
