DD<strong>VCO</strong> Design Considerations<br />

– Circuit-EM co-simulation<br />

• Take into account the design rules<br />

– Min Min. spacing, spacing min min. width of the TLs<br />

• Take into account the tuning cell dimensions to the TL design (X-dimension)<br />

• Take into account MIM capacitors' dimensions<br />

– RRequirements i t ffrom th the ddesigner’s i ’ point i t of f view: i<br />

• Parameterized differential TL models<br />

– Accurate broadband modeling (DC to the 3rd harmonic)<br />

– Capture p all the effects<br />

» Conductor skin effect<br />

» Substrate skin effect<br />

» Coupling capacitance<br />
