## Abstract An ultra‐wideband voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) in a standard 0.18‐μm CMOS process is presented in this article. The designed VCO adopts two active inductors to replace the passive spiral inductors; this results in an increase in tuning‐range and chip area reduction. The active in
