Abstract
This paper describes the design of a new monolithic VCO with a single nMOSFET and a single pMOSFET core. The monolithic VCO is designed in standard 0.35mum single-poly, 4-metal CMOS process. The LC tank consists of an inductor and a varactor. The requisite tuning range is obtained by using an nMOS inversion-mode varactor. The oscillator is tunable from 2.26987 to 2.64276 GHz through a MOS varactor input. Tuning range of 16.7% covers the frequency for 2.4 GHz ISM band
