Abstract
A quadrature VCO comprises: a first delay cell including a first differential VCO coupled between a power supply and a first current source; and first and second coupling transistors that each include a first terminal, a second terminal coupled to the power supply, and a third terminal, and that vary a current flowing from the second terminal to the third terminal according to quadrature-phase signals applied to the first terminal; and a second delay cell including a second differential VCO coupled between a power supply and a second current source; and third and fourth coupling transistors that each include a first terminal, a second terminal coupled to the power, and a third terminal, and that vary a current flowing from the second terminal to the third terminal according to in-phase signals applied to the first terminal.
