This letter presents a new symmetrical tail current-shaping technique to improve the phase noise of a quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO). This proposed QVCO consists of two first-harmonic injection-locked oscillators (ILOs) and the outputs are injected back to the gates of the QVCO's tail transistors in order to shape the tail currents. A switching current path is provided between the...
