Abstract

This work presents a complementary P–N class-C voltage-controlled power oscillator based on a new structure asymmetry inductor using a 130 nm CMOS process. The proposed asymmetry inductor is designed with different widths and various spaces between turns. This improves the quality factor (Q-factor) by 30.8% compared to the conventional inductor and also, shifts up self-resonance frequency (SRF) from 4.8 GHz to 7.8 GHz. In turns, the proposed inductor causes a 2 dB improvement in the phase noise of the oscillator. By using a single switching voltage the proposed voltage-controlled oscillator works in triple bands with a tuning range of 34.5% from 2 to 2.9 GHz, and low phase noise of− 122 dBc/Hz@ 1-MHz offset frequency from 2.2 GHz carrier. The proposed VCO is class-C and draws 0.183 mA from 1 V supply voltage. The minimum achieved Figure-of-Merit (FOM) equals− 195.5 dBc/Hz and the …
