VCO Design

hi,
I want to design a VCO in 8-10 GHz band,
Is there any good reference and practical example?
thanks.

Re: VCO Design

which technology u want to dsign ur oscillator

is it a discreet oscillator with tarnsistor
or it will be an chip "in cmos technology" , or BICMOS

VCO Design

i want to design this oscillator with a transistor maybe Lp6836

Re: VCO Design

then u need to check gonzalez book chapter 5 "oscillator design"

Hello Khouly

I have another similar question, If I aim to design a VCO in the ISM band, would the book you mentioned be usefull for me also? if Yes, then how can I get such book?

Thank you,

Ahmad,

Re: VCO Design

the chapter i mentioned is very usefull for VCO design

but this book oriented in using S parameters design techniquies

for a good VCO design procedure check

www.rfic.co.uk
"check feedback oscillator"

wish this help
