Abstract

An array of 4 complementary LC-VCOs is implemented in 32nm SOI CMOS technology for wide-band tuning. The VCOs tune from 83.2 to 96.7GHz and from 100.1 to 104.3GHz, covering 51.4% of W-band. The VCOs occupy 40x35um2 and are scalable for an array implementation in nanometer SoC. The array of parallel VCOs aims to overcome process variation and to improve yield.
