Abstract

A new PMOS backgate quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (QVCO) is designed and implemented using TSMC 0.18 ΞΌm 1P6M CMOS technology.The phase noise of the PMOS back‐gate coupled QVCO operating at 1.5 V is measured to be βˆ’100 dBc/Hz and βˆ’125.08 dBc/Hz at 100 KHz and 1 MHz offset, respectively, for a low power consumption of 15 mW. The backgate QVCO demonstrates a wide frequency tuning range, a low phase noise, and a low power consumption. The corresponding figure‐of‐merit of the QVCO is βˆ’186 dBc/Hz.

## Abstract A 5‐GHz CMOS VCO with improved phase noise is proposed in this article. A gate voltage boosting technique is realized with only one inductor. The proposed VCO is fabricated in 0.18 ΞΌm CMOS process, and the measured phase noise is βˆ’122.7 dBc/Hz@1 MHz when operates at 4.936 GHz, with a po
