With the use of tunable composite-right/left-hand (CRLH) transmission line (T-line), this paper provides a wide frequency-tuning-range (FTR) mechanism for Mobius-ring rotary-traveling-wave (RTW) VCO in millimeter-wave region. CRLH T-line is implemented in RTW-VCO with inductor-loaded transformer to...
