This paper presents an LC voltage controlled oscillator(VCO) in a dual-band frequency synthesizer for IMT-advanced and UWB applications.The switched current source,cross-coupled pair and noise filtering technique are adopted in this VCO design to improve the performance of the phase noise,power consumption,voltage amplitude,and tuning range.In order to achieve a wide tuning range,a reconfigurable LC tank with 4 bits switch control is adopted in the core circuit design.The size of the entire chip with pad is 1.11 0.98 mm2.The test results show that the current dissipation of the VCO at UWB and IMT-Advanced band is 3 mA and 4.5 mA in a 1.2 V supply.The tuning range of the designed VCO is 3.86-5.28 GHz and 3.14-3.88 GHz.The phase-noise at 1 MHz frequency offset from a 3.5 GHz and 4.2 GHz carrier is-123 dBc/Hz and-119 dBc/Hz,respectively.
