摘要
A 5-GHz, fully monolithic Voltage-Controlled Oscillator (VCO) for Bluetooth wireless transceivers is demonstrated in a 0.25 mum CMOS technology using accumulation mode varactors and spiral inductors. An 18% tuning range was measured for only 2.5 V tuning-voltage variation. The phase noise was -94 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz frequency offset with 40 kHz 1/f(3) corner frequency. These low values are limited by the up-conversion of flicker noise due to varactor amplitude-to-frequency conversion and to the modulation of the varactor bias point. This explanation is verified by simulations and measurements. The circuit draws 5.5 mA from a 2.5 V power supply.
