We received and characterized our first RFIC: a 2.4 GHz VCO, fabricated in a technology CMOS 0.18um from XFAB. We measured a phase noise of -110 dBc/Hz in non ideal conditions. It was expected -115 dBc/Hz in simulation. A new characterization is waiting to really know what this circuit really can reach.
First silicon !
