Abstract
This paper presents a method of producing a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with a wide enough tuning range, such that the correct centre frequency can be ensured. This is achieved without compromising the power consumption of the circuit. The work is novel in that a transformer is preferred to an inductor to help maximize this tuning range. The design was fabricated in a CMOS 0.18µm technology, and has a frequency tuning range between 2.35 and 2.95GHz, drawing 20mA from a 1.8V supply. A staggered-tuning range was employed to minimize the effect of noise on the analog control voltage, so the control process is a dual one, with both analog and digital controls. The oscillator produces quadrature outputs which are essential for many transceiver systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
