Abstract
According to some embodiments, unilateral coupling is provided for a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator. For example, a first voltage controlled oscillator may be provided with a 0 degree phase node and a 180 degree phase node A second voltage controlled oscillator may be provided with a 90 degree phase node and a 270 degree phase node. In addition, the first and second voltage controlled oscillators may be mutually coupled with substantially unilateral cascaded common-source common-gate amplifier coupling devices to create a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator.
