Abstract
A differential cross-coupled Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) has been designed using the Double-Gate (DG) MOSFET for VHF applications. The DG MOSFET exhibits superior noise immunity with its high noise figure and is suitable for low-power, high-frequency applications. The proposed VCO has been designed using a differential topology with improved power consumption, design flexibility, and noise reduction. This also improves the high-frequency performance of existing differential amplifiers. Thereafter, the proposed VCO was compared with fabrication and design methods, particularly Silicon-based CMOS and Single-Gate (SG) MOSFET VCOs, as possible alternatives. Various printed circuit board (PCB) design practices were followed to minimise the noise and improve the overall efficiency of the circuitry. Key parameters for the analysis of this VCO are the output power, phase noise, and figure of merit, which have been realised as -2.91 dBm at peak and -69.79 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz, respectively. The power consumption of the designed VCO is 36 mW.
