A 4.224-GHz CMOS complementary cross-coupled LC-VCO is designed for multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM) ultra-wideband (UWB) application. The tuning range of the VCO is from 3.77-GHz to 4.27-GHz or 12-, which was achieved through pMOS based varactors. The VCO core current consumption is 1.9-mA from a 1.8-V supply voltage. With the combination of source damping resistance of 40-Ω, multi-finger gate structure of pMOS based varactors the 2-μm x 284 fingers and tail biasing resistance of 232-Ω, the phase noise were simulated at - 94.7-dBc/Hz and -120.1-dBc/Hz at 100-kHz and 1-MHz offset, respectively. The VCO circuit is designed in Silterra 0.18-μm 1-poly 6-metal RFMOS process technology. ©2007 IEEE. date: 2007 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-57949104618&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2007.4658611&partnerID=40&md5=5409c11bff7ecdf359bb2dd93e071c56 id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2007.4658611 full_text_status: none publication: 2007 International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems, ICIAS 2007 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 1383-1386 refereed: TRUE isbn: 1424413559; 9781424413553 citation: Zafar, S. and Zulkifli, T.Z.A. and Awan, M.
