Abstract

This letter presents the design and performance characteristics of an integrated 24‐GHz differential voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO). The developed VCO was implemented monolithically using the IBM BICMOS5HP process. Oscillator measured results show a tuning range of 1 GHz from 24.6 to 23.6 GHz with less than 1 dB variation in the differential output power over the entire tuning range. The fabricated VCO also exhibits a measured phase noise of −105 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz off the carrier. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract An integrated voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO) operating at 1.75 GHz is designed using the InGaP/GaAs HBT process. The proposed noise‐removal circuit and FR‐4 substrate structure in this paper show an improved characteristic of phase noise and a smaller VCO dimension, respectively. T
