This article presents a 17-GHz band VCO for system-in-a-package (SiP) solutions. A workflow for a chip-package codesign, which includes the design of LTCC-inductors, is presented. The VCO shows a phase noise of Ψ110 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz offset and a figure of merit (FOM) of Ψ190.4 dBc/Hz. Design trade-of
## Abstract A 16βGHz CMOS differential Colpitts VCO fabricated with the 0.18 ΞΌm 1P6M process is presented. The 16βGHz VCO is a good choice for the local oscillator (LO) circuit of the UWB or 60βGHz WPAN direct conversion receiver. The VCO is composed of a PMOS transistorβpair core circuit and two s
