A Flash Frequency Tuning Technique for SC-Based mm Wave VCOs

A Flash Frequency Tuning Technique for SC-Based mm Wave VCOs

This paper presents a flash frequency tuning technique for switched-capacitor-based, voltage-controlled oscillators operating at mm wave frequencies. The proposed strategy exploits a capacitor array and a small varactor for coarse and fine tuning, respectively, which are simultaneously operated than...
