## Abstract This article proposes a 12 GHz low power differential voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) based on single‐ended Colpitts oscillators. The differential VCO uses two single‐ended Colpitts VCOs coupled by a pair of pMOS cross‐coupled transistors and a transformer inductor. The differential

## Abstract A monolithic on‐off keying receiver is presented for wireless sensor network applications. By employing the self‐mixing technique, the demodulator is constructed from a voltage multiplier instead of a rectifier in this work. The proposed receiver can achieve a data rate upto 1 Mb/s at a
## Abstract A novel low‐power differential Colpitts voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) is proposed and implemented in a 0.18‐μm CMOS 1P6M process. The proposed circuit topology consists of two single‐ended Colpitts LC‐tank VCOs, and the differential VCO is obtained by using a cross‐coupled nMOS pa
## Abstract A linear, low‐power, wideband 0.18‐μm CMOS VCO for UWB applications is presented, as part of a PLL‐based direct FM modulator for the 3.1–5‐GHz UWB band. It consists of a frequency control circuit and a differential ring core, coupled to the antenna output and the PLL prescaler by two si
