Abstract—A wideband LC PLL in 45-nm SOI CMOS technology
is presented that has a center frequency of 12.4 GHz and 1.2 octave
locking range. The wideband operation is achieved by switching
mutual inductances within the inductor coil of the LC oscillator.
To minimize resistive switching losses, the inductor coil consists
of a non-sw
