A 100 GHz transformer-based varactor-less VCO with 11.2% tuning range in 65nm CMOS technology

A 100 GHz transformer-based VCO is implemented in a 65nm CMOS technology. The large and linear magnetic tuning is realized by using a triple-coupled transformer. The tuning range of the proposed VCO is from 95.37 GHz to 106.68 GHz, which is currently the widest at the frequency around and above 100...
