This session features four papers on high-performance Ku- and Ka-band CMOS oscillators utilizing innovative architectures including: triple-tank resonators for flicker-noise suppression; area-efficient Gm boosted cores; series-resonance tank with 3rd harmonic extraction; and quad-mode inductive switching. These designs achieve high figures-of-merit and ultra-wide tuning ranges across a frequency span of 9.9 to 30GHz, addressing key challenges in next-generation frequency synthesis.
