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. …
