This paper proposes a novel tunable inductor (TI) with integrated miniature low power current source tuner (LPCST). It is fabricated in CMOS 180 nm. In proportion to the tuner voltage, the physical inductance value can be increased up to 80% from its default value. The increasing inductance value is...
