A phase noise reduction technique is presented in a three‐stage capacitor‐less (CL) low dropout (LDO) regulator. This paper proposes a simple RC network that reduces the noise from both bias generation and inside the LDO. This LDO is applied to a conventional CMOS LC oscillator and achieved 3 dB reduction of phase noise at 1 MHz offset from 20 GHz output. The line and load regulations are, 90 μV/V and 0.013 μV/mA, and the output noise at 1 MHz is 6.6nV / Hz ${\rm{nV}}/\sqrt {{\rm{Hz}}} $ .
