Embedment of feedback resistor results in the increment of inductance as well as the quality factor whereas the values are 125.6@2.4GHz (Liang) and 98.7@3.4GHz (Weng-Kuo). The Weng-Kuo active inductor based VCO shows a tuning frequency of 1.765GHz ~2.430GHz (31.7%), while consuming a power of 2.60 mW and phase noise of -84.15 dBc/Hz@1MHz offset. On the other hand, Liang active inductor based VCO shows a frequency range of 1.897GHz ~2.522GHz (28.28%), while consuming a power of 1.40 mW and phase noise of -80.79 dBc/Hz@1MHz offset. Comparing Figure-of-Merit (FoM), power consumption, output power and stability in performance, designed active inductor based VCOs outperform with the stateof- the-art.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Active Inductor with Feedback Resistor Based Voltage Controlled Oscillator Design for Wireless Applications}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/110196/PDF/9_1440_new.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ijet.2019.126283}, keywords={VCO, active inductor, inductance, quality factor, phase noise, figure-of-merit}, }
