Popis: A K-band low-power, low phase noise modified Colpitts VCO was implemented in 0.13 µm CMOS process. The timed current switches of the conventional Colpitts VCO are replaced by a differential transformer, and thus the supply voltage of the proposed VCO can be reduced. The VCO has −100 and −109.5 dBc/Hz phase noises at 1 MHz offset under 4 and 10 mW dc power consumptions, respectively. The chip size is 570 × 570 µm2.
