This paper presents a 212-GHz fundamental VCO with a Π-embedding network with high dc-to-RF efficiency. Particle swarm optimization method is utilized to find the optimal values of elements of the lossy embedding network. Fabricated in 65-nm bulk CMOS, the VCO achieves 0.6-mW peak output power per transistor at 1-V power supply and the peak dc-to-RF efficiency of 5.3%. The measured phase noise is -92.5dBc/Hz and -113.9dBc/Hz at 1MHz and 10MHz offset, respectively. Bulk voltage is used as the tuning mechanism. The measured tuning rang is 212.2GHz to 208.8GHz when the bulk voltage is changed from 0V to 0.8V. |
