	Low-Power LC-VCO using integrated MEMS passives
	V. K. Saraf, D. Ramachandran, A. Oz, G. Fedder and T. Mukherjee ABSTRACT:
	Low power RF operation is often limited by the poor quality factor of the passives available in siliconbased processes. This paper reports on a LC-tank VCO incorporating micromachined inductors and capacitors for low power operation without sacrificing performance. Only 2.75 mW of power is needed to achieve -122 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz from a 2.84 GHz carrier.
