Abstract

A quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator comprises a first delay cell outputting first and second phase signals having a different phase; and a second delay cell outputting third and fourth phase signals having a different phase, the third and fourth phase signals crossing the first and second phase signals, respectively. The first delay cell includes a first differential voltage-controlled oscillator connected to a power supply and outputting the first and second phase signals; and a first coupling section including first and second coupling transistors connected to the first differential voltage-controlled oscillator and first and second coupling capacitors connected in parallel to the first and second coupling transistors, respectively, so as to be grounded, the first coupling section coupling the output phase signals. The second delay cell includes a second differential voltage-controlled oscillator connected to the power supply and outputting the third and fourth phase signals; and a second coupling section including third and fourth coupling transistors connected to the second differential voltage-controlled oscillator and third and fourth coupling capacitors connected in parallel to the third and fourth coupling transistors, respectively, so as to be grounded, the second coupling section coupling the output phase signals.
