A low-noise multi-GHz CMOS multiloop ring oscillator with coarse and fine frequency tuning

A 7-GHz CMOS voltage controlled ring oscillator that employs multiloop technique for frequency boosting is presented in this paper. The circuit permits lower tuning gain through the use of coarse/fine frequency control. The lower tuning gain also translat...
