Abstract

This paper presents a comparison of two 5GHz VCOs. One is implemented in an SOI process and the other in a conventional bulk CMOS process. The SOI design presents the lowest reported power (1.65mW, -110dBc/Hz@1MHz) in a 5GHz VCO, while the bulk device presents the lowest phase noise achieved in a 5GHz VCO (17.25mW, - 126dBc/Hz@1MHz). The design tradeoffs are discussed.
