Abstract
This paper reports the development of a Q-band (33-50 GHz) triple-push VCO using GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) MMIC technology. The circuit adopts cascode configuration of HBTs in order to increase the negative resistance at high frequency and thus to obtain a higher oscillation frequency. Based on the measured results, MMIC VCO achieves a tuning frequency range of 39 to 46 GHz. © 2002 IEEE.
