Abstract
This paper presents a 20GHz VCO with 5GHz tuning range in 0.25μm SiGe BiCMOS. A differential capacitive emitter degenerated structure is used as a negative resistance cell that has extremely low parasitic capacitance. The VCO core consumes 9mW, and the measured phase noise at 1MHz offset is -101.2dBc/Hz.
