    This document discusses design issues for narrowband voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs). It outlines key VCO specifications like tuning range of 500 MHz to cover frequency channels, phase noise below -70 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, and power consumption less than 100 mW. The document examines factors that impact these specifications such as noise, power, isolation, and sensitivity. It also covers VCO architecture choices, varactor implementation, tank design, transistor biasing, and simulation of phase noise.
