Abstract
A hybrid 8-12 GHz VCO has been built using a SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) in common-emitter-configuration. In order to achieve the wide frequency range only lumped elements were used. Transistors and varactors were fabricated on the same high-resistivity substrate using the same MBE-grown layers. The chosen doping profile resulted in a linear dependence of the output frequency on the varactor voltage.
