Abstract

A wide-tuning range voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with adjustable ground-plate inductor for ultra-wide band (UWB) application is presented in this paper. The VCO was implemented by standard 90nm CMOS process at 1.2V supply voltage and power consumption of 6mW. The tuning range from 13.3 GHz to 15.6 GHz with phase noise between -99.98 and - 115dBc/Hz@1MHz is obtained. The output power is around -8.7 to -9.6dBm and chip area of 0.77x0.62mm2.
