Abstract
A Ku-band push-push VCO for low-cost applications is proposed. The proposed push-push oscillator achieves a wide tuning range in the Ku-band by the collector bias tuning instead of varactor tuning. The designed Ku-band VCO shows a wide tuning range of 900 MHz, excellent fundamental suppression of -30 dBc, and good phase noise of -115 dBc at 1-MHz offset.
