A 10-GHz CMOS Quadrature LC-VCO for Multirate Optical Applications. Li, S., Kipnis, I., & Ismail, M. IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, 2003.
abstract   bibtex   
A 10-GHz quadrature LC-VCO (QVCO) fabricated in a 0.13-μm CMOS process for 10-Gb/s multirate optical applications is described. Bimodal oscillation behavior (or phase ambiguity) inherent to quadrature LC-VCOs is analyzed theoretically and a cascode-based coupling method is proposed which effectively eliminates bimodal oscillation. Digitally controlled capacitor arrays are used in this design to extend the tuning range of the QVCO to cover multirate operations. The QVCO achieves a jitter generation of only 32 mUI pp at 10 GHz and a phase noise of -95 dBc/Hz at 1-MHz frequency offset with only 8 mA of current consumption in the QVCO core.
