I am working on a 5GHz 130nm VCO, however, low jitter requirement drive me mad. (<2ps rms).

And I am limited to ring oscillators, any siggestion?
 

Have a look at the following thesis:

https://doc.utwente.nl/fid/2099

It includes a 10 GHz 0.18µm standard CMOS LC VCO with a jitter of 0.22 psec RMS (<2psec)...maybe you can use it as a guideline..

Regards
 

thanks for the input, but I am limited to ring oscillator.
