Title
Design of Wide-Tuning-Range Millimeter-Wave CMOS VCO With a Standing-Wave Architecture
Abstract
The design of a wide-tuning-range millimeter-wave CMOS VCO is presented in this paper. In contrast to the conventional wideband topologies, a nonuniform standing-wave oscillator utilizing tapered gain elements, switched transmission lines and distributed varactors is employed to provide an extended output range with the coarse and fine frequency tuning. Due to the use of the transmission line arch...
