  • A 56-GHz LC-Tank VCO With 17% tuning range in 65-nm bulk CMOS for wireless HDMI 

    González Jiménez, José Luis; Badets, Franck; Martineau, Baudouin; Belot, Didier (2010-03-25)
    Article
    Open Access
    A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with a central frequency of 56 GHz and a 17% tuning range is presented. The oscillation frequency is tuned both by an analog input and by a 3-bit digital control bus using the same ...

  • A comparison between grounded and floating shield inductors for mmW VCOs 

    González Jiménez, José Luis; Aragonès Cervera, Xavier; Molina Garcia, Marc Manel; Martineau, Baudouin; Belot, Didier (2010)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    A floating-shield inductor implemented in CMOS process is compared with a conventional patterned ground shield inductor for the implementation of a LC voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) operating at mmW frequencies. ...

  • Non-invasive Monitoring of CMOS Power Amplifiers Operating at RF and mmW Frequencies using an On-chip Thermal Sensor
