A voltage controlled oscillator vco is an electronic oscillator whose oscillation frequency is controlled by a voltage input.
Since the ring oscillator operates from a low voltage source it can be used in applications where power supply e g battery size is small e g pagers cellular phone applications.
A vco is also an integral part of a phase locked.
The vco circuit realized through 0 18µm cmos process parameter shows wide operating frequency from 1 624ghz to 3 229 ghz.
Hereby the dc setting v gs 0 v of the j fet is realized.
Using the new delay cells a ring voltage controlled oscillator employing a three stage structure and multiple pass loop techniques is implemented in the 0 18 m single poly six metal 1p6m cmos process.
Consequently a vco can be used for frequency modulation fm or phase modulation pm by applying a modulating signal to the control input.
