A low power millimetre-wave VCO in 0.18 µm SiGe BiCMOS technology

A low power millimetre-wave VCO in 0.18 µm SiGe BiCMOS technology

A 36 GHz low power voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is proposed and designed in 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS process. The VCO core part adopts a triple coupled transformer to provide feedbacks and to decouple the base voltage from the collector of the bipolar transistors, such that the voltage swing and p...
