Abstract :
This paper presents the design of a distributed voltage controlled oscillator (DVCO). This oscillator has been designed in a low-cost low-power standard STMicroelectronics 65nm CMOS process. The DVCO achieves a tuning range from 9.6GHz to 11.6GHz, a phase noise better than -101dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from the carrier and a total power consumption of 29mW
