This VCO ,with relatively low phase noise and large tuning range of 716M Hz ,is fabricated with the 0125μm SMIC CMOS process. The oscillator consumes 6mA from 215V supply. Another conventional VCO is also designed and simulated without symmetrical noise filter on the same process ,which also consumes 6mA current and is with the same tuning. Simulation result describes that the first VCO’phase noise is 6dBc/ Hz better than the latter’s at the same off set f requency f rom 418 GHz. Measured phase noise at 1M Hz away f rom the carrier in this 418 GHz VCO with symmetrical noise filter is - 123166dBc/ Hz. This design is suitable for the usage in a phase2locked loop and other consumer elect ronics. It is amenable for future technologies and allows easy porting to different CMOS manu2 facturing process.
