CMOS VCO Design

Design of CMOS VCOs for cellular/WiFi/Bluetooth and other RFIC applications Oscillator fundamentals. Oscillation frequency, tuning range, phase noise, etc. Noise in the VCO. How does noise in VCO effect Rx or Tx chain performance? Frequency tuning Discrete frequency tuning Continuos frequency tuning Frequency coverage and VCO calibration (in the factory) Supply sensitivity, need for LDO, etc.
