A 5 GHz BiCMOS I/Q VCO with 360° variable phase outputs using the vector sum method

This research looks into the design of an integrated in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) VCO operating at 5 GHz. The goal is to design a phase shifter that is implemented at the LO used for RF up conversion. The target application for the phase shifter is towards phased array antennas operating at 5 GHz. Inst...
