This paper presents a wide tuning rang mm-wave VCO (voltage controlled oscillator) fabricated in IBM 90-nm CMOS technology. The VCO can be tuned from 31.4 GHz to 42.2 GHz and utilizes a differential tuning mechanism based on varactors and switched capacitors. A switched current source is used to improve the performance of the VCO when an MIM (metal-insulated-metal) capacitor is switched in the LC...
A millimeter-wave CMOS frequency multiplier by two (doubler) is reported. The circuit consists of a Pierce oscillator injection-locked by a push-push pair. Compared to traditional frequency multipliers, which exploit the non-linearity of active devices to produce harmonics of the input signal, this technique provides a differential output with balanced signals, low core power dissipation and large...
A 65 nm CMOS sliding-IF receiver comprising 3 LNA gain stages, RF mixer, quadrature IF mixers, VCO and dividers is presented. Coupled resonators, both in the LNA and RF mixer, allow an important gain-bandwidth extension over conventional single LC neutralization. Realized prototypes show >13 GHz RF bandwidth around 60 GHz, <6.5 dB NF, -21 dBm P1dB, 12.6% VCO frequency range, and -115 dBc/Hz...
On-chip frequency generators for high frequency applications suffer from degradation of key passive components, variable capacitors in particular. In this framework, frequency multipliers can play a key role, allowing the design of voltage-controlled oscillators running at a frequency lower than required with advantage in terms of signal spectral purity and frequency tuning range. In this paper we...
The next generation of wireless communication is a ubiquitous radio system concept, providing wireless access from short-range to wide-area, with one single reconfigurable and adaptive system for all envisaged radio environments. This paper presents the design approach of RCO (reconfigurable concurrent oscillator) that simultaneously generates two or more signals of different frequencies that eliminate...
