An exhaustive non-linear modelling of GaInP/GaAs HBT's - Application to a low phase noise Ku band VCO

This paper presents an exhaustive non-linear modelling including the low-frequency noise sources which has been implemented to design a low-phase noise voltage controlled oscillator in the Ku band with a 1 GHz bandwidth and a -92 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz carrier offset phase noise level.
