A 585.9 μW complementary VCO with an LC head-and-tail filtering achieving 196.7 dBc/Hz FoM

This paper reports a PMOS-NMOS Complementary LC voltage-biased oscillator with dual-second harmonic filtering tanks. It features 2 LC networks integrated each at the head and tail of the oscillator to concurrently resonate at twice the oscillating frequency (f(LO)), forming two high-impedance paths...
