چکیده
A K-Band Push-Push VCO MMIC which has small size, high output power and low phase noise is presented. This push-push VCO utilize the embedded frequency doubling mechanism of cross coupled topology. A commercial InGaP/GaAs HBT technology with the f T of 60 GHz and the fMAX of 110 GHz was used for the implementation. The oscillation frequency is from 21.02 GHz to 21.17 GHz. The peak output power of the VCO is 1.7dBm. The phase noise is -110dBc/Hz at 1MHz offset from 21.16 GHz. The chip size is 0.81 0.64 mm.
