Abstract:
A dual-band voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) includes: a first oscillator circuit including a first inductor; a second oscillator circuit including a second inductor; a first mode switch configured to electrically connect or disconnect a first output terminal of the first oscillator circuit and a first output terminal of the second oscillator circuit; a second mode switch configured to electrically connect or disconnect a second output terminal of the first oscillator circuit and a second output terminal of the second oscillator circuit; a third mode switch configured to electrically connect or disconnect a first terminal of the first inductor and a first terminal of the second inductor; and a fourth mode switch configured to electrically connect or disconnect a second terminal of the first inductor and a second terminal of the second inductor.
