This paper details the theory and implementation of an inverse-class-F (class-F -1 ) CMOS oscillator. It features: 1) a single-ended PMOS-NMOS-complementary architecture to generate the differential outputs and 2) a transformer-based two-port resonator to boost the drain-to-gate voltage gain (A V )...
