1159 to 1958 MHz Voltage-controlled oscillator

Overview

Voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is the generator that can be tuned over a wide range of frequencies by applying a control voltage to it.
Frequency tuning range (1159…1958 MHz) is defined by a control voltage of a build-in switched capacitor sections, and the built-in varicap is used for a fine adjustment.
The block is fabricated on TSMC 0.18 um SiGe technology.
