Abstract
The Voltage Controlled Oscillation, VCO is one of the most important building blocks in
modern communication applications such as the wired and wireless communications
devices. The oscillator is always been regarded as the ‘heart’ of a two way radio
communication devices currently available in the market (Scalpi, 2008). Along the years
major effort to produce the best VCO design have been carried out intensively and
progressively. The challenge is to find a solution in validating a design that is robust and
efficient yet cost effective VCO design in par with the current market demands. This
research highlights the best possible ways to validate a VCO design which is using the
Colpitts VCO design topology. This validation proves that the VCO design is a robust
and efficient. This research also discusses about the key areas that requires proper
attention during the design of a VCO design for a two way radio communication devices
to ensure that the design is robust and efficient.
