A power and area efficient CMOS oscillator by high-Q metamaterial resonator is introduced in this paper for phase noise improvement. The resonator is based on the differential transmission-line (T-line) loaded with split ring resonator (SRR), which can enhance the EM energy coupling and further impr...
