Abstract :
In this letter a monolithic voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) operating in the 77.5-83.5 GHz range is presented. InP HEMTs are used for both the active device and varactor. The VCO demonstrated a tuning range of 6 GHz and an output power better than 12.5 dBm in the entire tuning range.
