This paper presents a digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) in inductor-capacitor (LC) topology with dual -band and fine frequency tuning steps. Using special Fibonacci sequence method and additional capacitor in the capacitor bank, this DCO operates two differential frequency bands and achieves finer tuning range than that of a conventional binary sequence DCO. The proposed circuit is implemented...
