“…In this work, systematic design and architecture of a low-power, full-swing pulsed rotary wave VCO is presented. The presented design operates at about 80% higher frequency while consuming substantially less power than in [8], resulting in a ≈ 3 dB figure of merit improvement. It utilizes non-linear, full-swing, limiting amplifier stages to maintain the wave shape of a unidirectional, low-duty cycle, fast-slope traveling pulse.…”
