Abstract

A low phase noise tuned‐input tuned‐output (TITO) voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) using PMOS transistors is presented in this article.The TITO‐VCO, implemented using a 0.18 μm RF CMOS process, resulted in a phase noise performance of −118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from the center frequency of 4.7 GHz. The figure‐of‐merit of the TITO‐VCO was 188 dB. To the author's knowledge, this is the first report on the measured performance of differential TITO‐VCO implemented using PMOS transistors. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
