Abstract
The effects of placing multiple inductor-based voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) on the same mixed-signal CMOS substrate have been studied, simulated and functionally verified using a prototype test chip. It is concluded that by carefully modeling the varactor as a nonlinear element capable of phase detection, interaction between two RF PLLs may be accurately predicted.
