DD<strong>VCO</strong> Current Status - Next Steps<br />

Current Status<br />

– Experimental results have demonstrated the feasibility of building fully<br />

integrated distributed oscillators with high oscillation frequencies and<br />

nice characteristics without having to turn into a pricy fabrication<br />

technology<br />

– Patent has been filed for both the architecture and design<br />

Future plans<br />

– Migration of the DD<strong>VCO</strong> architecture to a CMOS technology<br />

» Aiming to hit much higher oscillation frequencies through the use of<br />

advanced commercial CMOS technology<br />

» Feasible to design a 60GHz+ DD<strong>VCO</strong> in 90 nm RF CMOS<br />

technology<br />

» WiMedia (60GHz), Next generation Ethernet (100 Gbit/s),<br />

77/79 GH GHz automotive t ti radar d applications li ti a very good d fit<br />
