      Accés restringit per política de l'editorial
      This paper analyzes the impact of high-frequency substrate noise on two 60 GHz LC-VCOs that implement different strategies for inductor shielding, namely floating and grounded shields. An analytical model, which has ...
    • Phase noise degradation of LC-tank VCOs due to substrate noise and package coupling 

      Méndez, M A; Mateo Peña, Diego; Aragonès Cervera, Xavier; González Jiménez, José Luis (IEEE, 2005)
      Text en actes de congrés
      Accés obert
      The present work addresses the investigation of phase noise degradation of LC-tank VCOs due to realistic digitally originated substrate noise. The dominant mechanisms by which this noise is coupled to the output of the ...
