A Third-Harmonic-Enhanced Triple-Push DCO Utilizing Source-Combining Technique

A Third-Harmonic-Enhanced Triple-Push DCO Utilizing Source-Combining Technique 150 150
Author(s): Qiyao Jiang, Zhuo Xu, Quan Pan, Pui-In Mak, Rui P. Martins, Jun Yin

Abstract:

This article presents a detailed investigation into optimizing the amplitude and phase of the transistor’s terminal voltages to generate a high 3rd-harmonic current in the millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) frequency. Based on the analysis, the digitally controlled source-combining triple-push (SCTP) oscillator is derived to significantly enhance the 3rd-harmonic current by introducing …

Inverse Design of Multilayered Pixelated mm-Wave Power Amplifiers

Inverse Design of Multilayered Pixelated mm-Wave Power Amplifiers 150 150
Author(s): Vinay Chenna, Hossein Hashemi

Abstract:

A topology optimization methodology is presented for the design of multistage, multipath, linear and nonlinear millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) power amplifiers (PAs). Optimization algorithms autonomously generate complete multilayered PA core layouts, including actives and passives, with minimal human intervention in just a few days. Experimental results from fabricated linear and nonlinear W-band …

220 GHz, 8.5-dBm Saturated Output Power Wideband Power Amplifier in SiGe BiCMOS

220 GHz, 8.5-dBm Saturated Output Power Wideband Power Amplifier in SiGe BiCMOS 150 150
Author(s): Xun Chen, Jonas Winkelhake, Muh-Dey Wei, Renato Negra

Abstract:

This letter presents a broadband $G$ -band power amplifier (PA) designed in a 130-nm silicon-germanium (SiGe) bipolar complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology. Unlike dual-band matching and staggered tuning techniques to obtain large operation bandwidth (BW), we propose a common broadband amplification stage in this work for its flexibility. In each stage, inductive …

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur

A Fast-Settling mm-Wave LO With I/Q-Calibrated SSB Mixer and Frequency-Tuned ILO Filter Achieving Sub-ns Settling Time and −56 dBc Spur 150 150
Author(s): Jaewon Oh, Cheol So, Hyojun Kim, Songcheol Hong, SeongHwan Cho

Abstract:

This article presents a fast-settling 60-GHz local oscillator (LO) for stepped-carrier orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), employing an I/Q-calibrated single-sideband (SSB) mixer with a frequency-tuned injection-locked oscillator (ILO) filter. The SSB mixer enables instantaneous frequency hopping, while the ILO acts as a high- $Q$ bandpass filter that suppresses mixer-induced spurs. …
