© 2018 IEEE. In this paper, a novel frequency-tunable filter based low noise voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) is proposed. The proposed tunable filter consists of a T-type resonator with four varactors and a pair of short-ended stubs connected with feedlines. High-Q can be achieved by introducing a transmission zero on the upper stopband, which can reduce the phase noise of the VCO. The whole size of the tunable filter is 0.002λ2g. The proposed VCO was fabricated and measured indicating a promising frequency-tuning range from 2.2 to 3.2 GHz with the second harmonic suppression level of better than 22 dB. The measured phase noise is -88-91.44dBc/Hz at 100KHz offset.
