Title
A Technique for Enhancing Varactor's Quality Factor in Millimeter-Wave Frequencies.
Abstract
Varactors are key devices in the design of voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs), as their quality factor (Q-factor) at the millimeter-wave frequency range limits the overall LC tank Q-factor. This brief presents a new circuit-level structure, called Q-enhanced varactor (QEV), that is composed of two metal-insulator-metal capacitors (MIMCAPs) and a varactor. Depending on Q-factors and the values o...
