Martins1,2 University of Macau, Macau, China Instituto Superior Tecnico/University of Lisboa, Lisbon, Portugal 1 2 The W-band offers a rich spectrum resource for thriving industries, such as automotive radar and satellite communications. Yet, developing a W-band voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) simultaneously featuring a wide tuning range (TR) and low absolute phase noise (PN) is still challenging. The degraded quality factor (Q) of the switchedcapacitor array (SCA) tightens the trade-off between TR and absolute PN at W-band oscillation frequency (FOSC). The multi-resonant VCO [1] alleviates such trade-off by the 3rd harmonic extraction. This act lowers FOSC by 3×, and the created harmonic resonances can reshape the impulse sensitivity function (ISF), suppressing the circuit noise to PN upconversion. Yet, a single-core VCO has limited output power, and the achievable Q of
