To provide wide frequency tuning range (FTR) with compact implementation area, a new inductive tuning method is introduced in this paper for CMOS 60 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The inductive tuning is based on a switching inductor-loaded transformer by configuring different current retu...
