I. INTRODUCTION

Recently, dozens of wireless communication standards havebeen used for small mobile terminals, e.g. GSM, UMTS,WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, DTV, and RFID, and the standardsuse several frequency bands spreading in a quite wide rangesuch as 800MHz to 6GHz The mobile terminals have beenobtaining multi-standard operations, smaller size, and lowerpower operation [1] However, the present multi-standardRF front-end consists of several LNAs, VCOs, Mixers, andPAs for each frequency band. A multi-standard RF front-endimplemented in a single chip is required for smaller size, lowerpower, and more flexible wireless communication terminalssuch as 800MHz to 6 GHz. The software defined radio (SDR)has been studied 12] [3] and the multi standard RF frontend is also needed to realize the SDR with feasible powerconsumption. Several multi-standard RF front-ends have beenproposed. Digital-assist architectures are suitable for Si CMOSchips As one of the multi-standard RF front-end we have pro-posed a reconfigurable RF circuit architecture [4], [5], whichaims to realize dynamic reconfiguration for multi functionsand self compensation of PVT with variable bias tuning andswitches as shown in Fig. 1. The digital radio processor (DRP)for Bluetooth and GSM/EDGE [6] and the software-definedradio receiver [3] have been reported, which are promisingas a multi-band down-converter. All of these RF front-endsrequire a wideband-tunable VCO, which is an indispensablecomponent for the multi-band radio. This paper proposes suchthe wideband VCO as 800MHz to 6 GHz.VCO using switched capacitors is a well-known topology to

Various topologies for tuning-range extension can be uti-lized dependinlg on the required performnances. In this paper,we propose a nrovel extensioln architecture to achieve widertuning range with lower power, sraller layout area, and lowerphase noise, which achieves ±71% of tunring range from a±20 %-range core VCO. The proposed architecture utilizesa diflferenLtial VCO to genrerate the fundamental frequencywith smaller layout area, lower power consumption, and lowerphase-noise characteristics than quadrature VCOs. A varialblegain comlbiner is employed to reject spur instead of SSBM.

pass filter, and a combiner. The proposed architecture aims toachieve wider tuning-range with lower power and lower phasenoise, so a differential VCO and a novel compact frequency-extension circuit are introduced. Fig. 3 hows frequency planof the proposed architecture, and 2 fo, 3/2 fo, 3/4 fo, and 1/2 foare generated from the fundamental frequency fo of the coreVCO 2 Jo is generated by the mixer and 1/2 Jo is dividedfrom the fundamental frequency Jo 3/2 Jo is generated fromfo and 1/2 fo, and 1/2 fo is also generated as a spurious signal.3/4 Jo is divided from 3/2Jo The core VCO is required to havefrequency tuning range of ±20 %, and the total tuning range of±71 % can be realized by the frequency-extension circuit. Forexample tuning range of 2 3 GHz can be extended to 1 6 GHzas shown in Fig. 3.A differential VCO is employed as the core VCO. Fig. 4

shows the schematic of the core VCO, and switched capacitorsare utilized for coarse tuning. The differential VCO hasbetter phase-noise characteristic than the quadrature VCO, andsmaller layout area and lower power consumption can also beachieved. The core VCO has frequency tuning range of morethan ±20%. At higher frequencies, it is difficult to achievewide tuning range due to parasitic capacitances, so the lowerfundamental frequency is chosen and up-converted to higherfrequencies by the mixer.A CML divider is used as a wideband frequency divider to

obtain 1/2 of input frequency, and a wideband mixer shownin Fig. 5(a) is used as a frequency multiplier. The mixer is

shared to generate 2 fo and 3/2 Jof and input signal of mixer is

switched as shown in Fig. 2. In the case (A) shown in Fig. 2,mixer input signals are fJ and 1/2fo, and 3/2fo and 1/2fo are

generated. In the case (B) shown in Fig. 2, both mixer inputsignals are Jo and DC and 2 o are generated

In the case (A), 3/2fo is desired frequency, and 1/2 Jo iSspurious frequeincy The tuning-range extension usiing SSBMrequires I/Q phases to reject the spurious frequency. In theproposed architecture, output of the first divider has the same

frequency as 1/2 fo of spur, and it can be used for thespurious rejection instead of the SSBM technique. Therefore,

the proposed architecture does not need QVCO and SSBMand small-size synthesizer can be realized. First, the spuriousfrequency is relected by the high pass filter shown in Fig 2Second, the remaining spur in the output of filter is rejectedby a variable gain combiner shown in Fig 5(b). The gainsof combiner are adjusted by bias voltages Gainl1 and Gain2.The high-pass filter is also used for phase adjustment, and thefilter should be carefully designed to reduce phase mismatchin wide frequency range.

In the case (B), 2 fo is desired frequency, and DC signal isspurious. The DC signal can be suppressed by the high-passfilter. In the proposed architecture, distance to spur is large,which is desirable feature for spurious rejection in both thecases (A) and (B). The proposed architecture is also expectedto be robust for LO leak,

Core size is 800,um x 540,rm. Depicted in Fig. 6, the corearea is dominated by the spiral inductor for LC-VCO. SignalSource Analyzer (Agilent E5052A) and Spectrum Analyzer(Agilent 8563EC) were used for measurement GSG probeswere also used to obtain on-chip signals. Fig. 7 shows the tun-ing characteristics of the VCO which exhibits from 0 98 GHzto 6.6 GHz oscillation. The tuning range is found to be 149 %Table I summarizes the measured results.

Fig. 8 shows spectrum of the combiner output, whichcontains 3/2 fo and 1/2 fo of frequency. In this case, 3/2 fois 2*93 GHz The spurious frequency of 1/2 Jo is rejected byboth the high-pass filter and the variable gain combiner. Thetotal image-reject-ratio (IMRR) is 20.2 dB.

Fig. 9 shows measured phase-noises characteristics for fo asthe fundamental frequency and 3/4 fo as the final output. The3/4 fo signal is generated through all the circuit blocks shownin Fig. 2. This result shows that the proposed wideband VCOoperate with the wideband and the low phase noise. Table IIsummarizes the measured phase noise and FoM The proposedVCO achieves -183 dBc/Hz of FoM for 2.50GHz oscillation.In this paper FoMT is also employed to evaluate tuning rangein addition to the phase noise [19] FoMT is defined as thefollowing equation.

Fig. 10 plots performances of wideband LC-VCO reportedin literature [7]-[11], [17]-[23], which includes low phase-noise VCOs using SOI [19], [20] and BiCMOS processes [21],and CMOS VCOs using phase-noise improvement techniques[22], [23]. The proposed VCO achieves the widest tuningrange and the best FoMT simultaneously.
