In this paper, a 2 GHz LC-VCO with neural network (Multilayer Perceptron) has been designed in a 0.13 ţm CMOS technology. With the integrated neural network, the linearity and tuning range of the LC-VCO has been substantially improved. Compared to a conventional VCO design, the proposed technique ca...
