A transformer-based magnetic tuning technique with both coarse and fine frequency tuning is proposed to enhance the frequency tuning range and phase noise performance of W-band oscillators. Detailed analysis and optimization of the proposed multicoil transformer are included. Two prototypes are designed and evaluated in a 65-nm CMOS process, showing improved performance.
A transformer-based magnetic tuning technique with both coarse and fine frequency tuning is proposed to enhance the frequency tuning range (FTR) and phase noise performance of W-band oscillators. Compared with our previous related works, a more detailed and thorough analysis of the magnetic tuning technique, especially the design and optimization of the proposed multicoil transformer with coarse- and fine-tuning switches, is included. Two prototypes are designed and evaluated in a 65-nm CMOS process. A proposed W-band varactor-less dual-band voltage-controlled oscillator (DB-VCO) prototype achieves an FTR of 14.3% from 95.7 to 110.5 GHz with a phase noise of -106.9 dBc/Hz at 10-MHz offset and consumes 6.2-mW power, corresponding to an FoM $_{{T}}$ of -181.7 dBc/Hz. Another proposed W-band transformer-coupled quadrature VCO (TC-QVCO) prototype achieves an FTR of 11.9% from 88.8 to 100 GHz with a phase noise of -110.5 dBc/Hz at 10-MHz offset and consumes 14.5-mW power, corresponding to an FoM $_{{T}}$ of -179.7 dBc/Hz. The proposed DB-VCO and TC-QVCO occupy small core areas of 0.02 and 0.022 mm(2), respectively.
