An impedance matching arrangement for an amplifier includes first and second metallic transmission lines arranged on a ground plane, the first metallic transmission line being connected with a first power amplification stage of the amplifier, the second metallic transmission line being connected with a second power amplification stage of the amplifier; wherein the first and second metallic transmission lines are electrically coupled for transmitting an RF signal amplified by the first power amplification stage to the second power amplification stage.

Impedance matching arrangement for an amplifier

A quadrature voltage controlled oscillator includes a first voltage controlled oscillator having a first current source, a first oscillator circuit, a first tuning circuit, and a first resonator tank; a second voltage controlled oscillator having a second current source, a second oscillator circuit, a second tuning circuit, and a second resonator tank. A first biasing circuit is connected between first and second transistors of the first oscillator circuit to bias them in Class-C mode; and a second biasing circuit is connected between third and fourth transistors of the second oscillator circuit to bias them in Class-C mode. The first and second voltage controlled oscillators are electrically coupled by bulk terminals of the first and second transistors coupled with drain terminals of the third and fourth transistors respectively, and bulk terminals of the third and fourth transistors coupled with drain terminals of the first and second transistors respectively.
