The paper presents design flow and simulation results of the W-band fundamental voltage-controlled oscillator in 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology for an automotive radar application. Oscillator provides fundamental oscillation range of 76.8 GHz to 81.2 GHz. According to simulation results phase noise is –89.3 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset, output power is –5.6 dBm and power consumption is 39 mW from 3.3 V source.

A fully integrated push–push voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) working in K-band with a large tuning range and a low phase noise fabricated in a 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology is presented. Multi-coupled LC tanks are used to improve the tuning range, power consumption and phase noise. Digital tuning varactors are used to maintain a low VCO tuning sensitivity (K VCO ) and maximum frequency overlap. The VCO achieves a frequency tuning range (FTR) of 17% at 12 GHz, a phase noise of -106.62 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and consumes 7 mW from 1.8 V supply.
