A 17.8–34.8 GHz (64.6%) Locking Range Current-Reuse Injection-Locked Frequency Multiplier with Dual Injection Technique

A 17.8–34.8 GHz (64.6%) locking range current-reuse injection-locked frequency multiplier (CR-ILFM) with dual injection technique is presented in this paper. applied to generate differential signal and increase the power of second-order harmonic component. The CR core proposed reduce consumption compatibility NMOS PMOS injectors. inductor-capacitor (LC) tank CR-ILFM designed a fourth-order resonator using transformer distributed inductor extend range. self-oscillated 23.82 GHz. output at 0-dBm without any additional control including supply voltage, varactor, capacitor bank. 7.48 mW from 1-V voltage die size 0.75 mm × 0.45 mm. implemented 65-nm CMOS technology.
