A Wideband Calibration-Free D-Band Passive Phase Shifter With Frequency-Invariant Codes Over 24% Fractional Bandwidth

A Wideband Calibration-Free D-Band Passive Phase Shifter With Frequency-Invariant Codes Over 24% Fractional Bandwidth 150 150
Author(s): Basem Abdelaziz Abdelmagid, Yuqi Liu, Hua Wang

Abstract:

This work presents a compact 110–140 GHz bidirectional D-band passive phase shifter based on combining a 5-stage capacitively-loaded reflective-type PS (RTPS) with a wideband 0°/180° stage. The design achieves a 360° phase range with a resolution of 11.25°. By applying: 1) a wideband RTPS design methodology on the stage level; 2) frequency/switching-staggering techniques among the …

A 240-GHz Sub-THz Direct-Conversion Transmitter With I/Q Phase Calibration in 40-nm CMOS

A 240-GHz Sub-THz Direct-Conversion Transmitter With I/Q Phase Calibration in 40-nm CMOS 150 150
Author(s): Chun-Sheng Lin, Chih-Hsueh Lin, Chun-Hsing Li

Abstract:

A 240-GHz direct-conversion transmitter (TX), consisting of an LO chain and fundamental I/Q mixers, is proposed for sub-THz communication applications. The LO chain integrates phase-shifter-embedded impedance matching networks (IMNs) and frequency tripler with an optimized harmonic IMN, delivering I/Q LO signals at 240 GHz with high output power, 360° phase …

A 10 to 40 GHz Reflection-Mode N-Path Filter

A 10 to 40 GHz Reflection-Mode N-Path Filter 150 150
Author(s): Cody J. Ellington, Sandeep Hari, Brian A. Floyd

Abstract:

A bandpass reflection-mode N-path filter (RMNF) with 2-GHz bandwidth and 10 to 40 GHz center-frequency tuning is presented. The design includes a broadband hybrid coupler, N-path reflectors, comprising four-phase passive mixers terminated with third-order in-phase and quadrature-phase active baseband loads, and a broadband clock-generation network. The reflectors realize an in-band open circuit …
