Abstract
A high frequency oscillator circuit in CMOS has been designed. The circuit uses inductors and capacitors to form a tank circuit while coupled CMOS inverters provide the positive feedback to sustain oscillations. The simulated performance is an order of magnitude greater than capable by conventional CMOS means
