A 60GHz VCO with 25.8% tuning range by switching return-path in 65nm CMOS

This paper presents a novel inductive tuning method for 60GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) design. A new inductor-loaded transformer is proposed by configuring different current return-paths in the secondary coil of a transformer. Different from published inductive tuning methods, the propose...
