In this paper, a D band wide tuning range Voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) in TSMC 40 nm CMOS process is presented. Frequency multiplication is achieved by transformer to enter the sub-THz band. The simulated VCO has a frequency tuning range of 140.56GHz to 159.98GHz (12.14%) with a supply voltag...
