What's the parameters should be simulated during design VCO?

What's the parameters should be simulated during design VCO?

That is ,which parameters should be considered thoroughly?

THANKS.

jitter and phase noise in a vco are usually the critical parameters but then it depends on your spec. what is the most stringent constraint.

Hi:

If you are using LC-VCO, with MOS varactor tuning, parameters such as phase noise, VCO sensitivity, output power level, frequency pushing, frequency pulling and tuning percentage is of importance.
