A low phase noise VCO with the bond wire inductor for DVB-H is implemented in TSMC CMOS 0.18?m process. The bond wire VCO exhibits -137dBc/Hz @ 1MHz with the 5mA current consumption. To meet the DVB-H phase noise requirement, bond wire modelling is introduced in this paper. Due to the bond wire characteristics, Q value of the VCO inductor is more than 25 at 1GHz. The proposed bond wire inductor provides additional frequency tuning options after IC fabrication by modifying the length of the bond wire.
