Abstract

A 0.18 μm CMOS low power ring VCO for 3 - 5 GHz FM-UWB system applications is presented. In order to achieve a 1 GHz ultra-wide tuning range while retaining a low power consumption the conventional ring configuration is modified. A detailed analysis of the proposed VCO configuration is presented in terms of oscillating frequency, control performance and phase noise performance. During the design phase several trade-offs were made between power consumption, phase noise and tuning range. Measurement shows that the proposed VCO configuration can provide a tuning range of 1.4 GHZ at 2.7 - 4.1 GHz while offering a -70dBc/Hz phase noise level at a 1 MHz frequency offset. The VCO furthermore shows a good tuning linearity. In total the circuit consumes 9.5 mW.
