This letter presents a dual-core, wide-tuning, class-C voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) operating at millimeter-wave (mm-wave) frequencies. Each core contains a 7-bit switched capacitor array and a ...

Frequency synthesis at mm-wave range suffers from a severe tradeoff between phase noise (PN) and frequency tuning range (FTR). This work presents the analysis and compares the performance of ...
