[IEEE 2019 PhotonIcs & Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS-Spring) - Rome, Italy (2019.6.17-2019.6.20)] 2019 PhotonIcs & Electromagnetics Research Symposium - Spring (PIERS-Spring) - Electromagnetic Characterization and Design Note of a Sub-THz SiGe Voltage-controlled Oscillator

摘要： In this paper we present the electromagnetic (EM) characterization and some design notes of a sub-Terahertz voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) based on a push-push architecture and realized based on Colpitts-type oscillators. The circuit operates at both 0.192 GHz and 0.384 THz the frequencies and is implemented in a 130 nm SiGe bipolar technology provided by IHP foundry.
