Abstract:SummaryIn the first part of this paper, we closely examine well‐known methods for balancing the output power level of the pseudo‐differential current‐reuse voltage‐controlled oscillator. We scrutinize their effectiveness in terms of canceling output mismatches, insensitivity to process, voltage, and temperature variations, and their capability of not degrading phase noise performance. Through analyses and simulations, it is shown that contrary to common belief, some techniques are not as effective as previousl… Show more
