Abstract

This paper presents a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with triple-coupling LC tank. The proposed circuit has been designed in TSMC 0.18μm CMOS technology with a power supply of 1.6 V. The VCO achieves an oscillation frequency range from 13.95 to 15.03 GHz while the power consumption is 7.26 mW. The simulated VCO demonstrates a phase noise of -114.5 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset from 14.49 GHz carrier and figure of merit of -189.65 dBc/Hz.
