摘要：

A family of low-phase noise, monolithic inductor-varactor SiGe-HBT VCOs in the 20GHz to 30GHz band was fabricated in a production SiGe technology. The unbuffered differential VCOs have 10-15% tuning range and deliver -3...2dBm directly into each of the 50 Omega loads, and 0dBm differentially. Phase noise is as low as -101dBc/Hz at 1MHz from the 20GHz carrier and -87dBc/Hz at 100KHz from the 26GHz carrier. The VCO core draws 10mA from a 5V supply.
