This paper presents a 60 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for the unlicensed 60 GHz wave applications, based on a 65 nm CMOS process. The post-simulation results shows 1.66 mW output power, –91 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz offset is realized, and the consumption of the VCO core is 13.1 mW unde...
