A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with VCO-gain (<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K_{\mathrm {VCO}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>) variation compensation is proposed to reduce <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K_{\mathrm {VCO}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> variation in a current-mode logic (CML) ring oscillator by introducing a cross-coupled pair with capacitive degeneration that mitigates the nonlinearity of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$K_{\mathrm {VCO}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>. Designed and fabricated in a standard 0.18-<inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu \text{m}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> CMOS process, the proposed VCO can be tuned from 1.78 to 2.53 GHz, with the VCO gain variation less than 14.01%, while occupying a core area of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$0.185\times0.081$ </tex-math></inline-formula> mm<sup>2</sup> and consuming 20 mA including the bias circuitry, from a 1.8-V supply voltage. The phase noise is measured to be −92.68 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset and −114.97 dBc/Hz at 10 MHz offset from the high-band carrier frequency, respectively.
