The authors discuss several techniques that can be used to reduce the cost and/or power consumption of one of the key components of the RF front-end, the quadrature local oscillator. The discussion includes simple and useful insights into quadrature VCOs, along with numerous examples of practical techniques. · Provides a thorough survey of quadrature LO generation; · Offers an intuitive explanation of the different quadrature VCO architectures, and categorization of these architectures based on the intuitive explanations; · Describes a new technique for simultaneous quadrature LO generation for channelized receivers; · Includes simple and detailed explanation of two new quadrature VCO techniques that improve phase-noise performance of QVCOs, while providing a large tuning range.
