% applications to EDA Problems", (DATE Tutorial 2005), pp.102-113.
% Original code by S. Mohan
% Written for CVX by Almir Mutapcic 02/08/06
%
% Designs an LC oscillator consisting of a loop inductor, varactors
% for fine tuning, binary weighted switching capacitors for coarse
% tuning, cross coupled NMOS transistors, and tail current source.
% The optimal LC oscillator design iwith minimum power consumption,
% and limits on phase noise, area, etc... can be formulated as a GP:
%
%   minimize   P
%       s.t.   N <= Nmax, A <= Amax, l >= lmin, etc.
%
% where optimization variables are loop inductor dimensions D,W,
% size of varactor Vc, size of switching caps Csw, width and length
% of transistors Wnmos, Lnmos, bias current Ibias, etc.
