The growing demand for mobile communications, mainly telephony, implies the need for better performance of RF transceiver architectures. A fundamental element in these front-ends is a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), the performance of which is a determining factor related to system limitations. Fully integrated VCOs usually suffer from poor phase...

The simplest quarter-wavelength, multi-port power divider, known as a Wilkinson divider, 1-2 provides a match at all ports, low loss, in-phase power splitting and high isolation between output ports. Historically, this device was reported earlier. 3-7 It was also described 5 together with the so-called Gysel-type combiner, 8 based...
