A CMOS 180-GHz Signal Source with an Integrated Frequency Doubler
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 180-GHz signal source based on a 65-nm CMOS technology has been developed in this study. The 180-GHz signal source consists of a 90-GHz fundamental-mode Colpitts oscillator and a 180-GHz frequency doubler. A coupled-line is employed to couple two oscillator cores for generating a differential signal, which is delivered to the input of the differential-mode doubler. The fabricated signal source operates from 181.2 to 182.4 GHz with output power varying from -15.3 to -10.8 dBm. The peak output power was -10.53 dBm at 181.3 GHz with a DC power consumption of 42 mW, and the associated phase noise was -71 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset.

This paper presents a 300 GHz transmitter front-end suitable for ultrahigh-speed wireless communications. The transmitter front-end realized in TSMC 40 nm CMOS consists of a common-source (CS) based doubler driven by a two-way D-band power amplifier (PA). Simulation results show that the two-way D-band PA obtains a peak gain of 21.6 dB over a -3 dB bandwidth from 132 GHz to 159 GHz. It exhibits...

In this article, propagation delay matched CMOS frequency doubler for L-band application is proposed. Schmitt trigger and voltage controlled delay line compensates duty cycle error and propagation delay mismatching that are induced as the frequency of operation is increased. As a consequence, unwanted harmonic components suppression is greatly improved for higher frequency of operation. CMOS fr...

A coplanar millimeter wave doubler MMIC covering the entire G-band was developed. Based on a 50 nm metamorphic HEMT technology, the circuit demonstrates an output power of more than –12 dBm between 150and 220 GHz for an input power of 0 dBm. By increasing the input power to 12 dBm an output power exceeding 0 dBm was obtained in the frequency range between 180and 220 GHz. Good fundamental reject...
