Abstract

In this paper, a 2.3 GHz VCO with parallel-branch inductors was designed and fabricated using 0.8-μm SiGe HBT process technology. Their Q-factors were higher than those of the conventional inductors. A good phase noise of -122 dBc/Hz was measured at 4 MHz offset frequency, and harmonics were suppressed by -28 dBc. The manufactured VCO core consumed 3.7 mA at 2 V supply voltage, and the VCO occupied 1.8 mm × 1.2 mm chip areas.
