摘要：
In this letter, we report a differential 12-GHz voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) implemented using a commercial GaAs pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (p-HEMT) process. The VCO can operate with 3 mW of de power. The single-side-band phase noise at 1-MHz offset from the carrier is -116 dBc and is achieved with 15 mW of dc power consumption. This VCO has a figure of merit of -190.5 dBc which is the best that has been reported for a p-HEMT VCO in the authors' knowledge.
