“…Besides, it is challenging to design a broadband frequency divider chain in an E-band phase-locked loop (PLL) for E-band VCO output frequency locking. Meanwhile, such divider chain is power hungry [9], which in turn leads to low DC-to-RF conversion efficiency of the E-band signal source. In addition, whether it is an E-band communication or radar systems, in practical applications, the system needs to have better performance as the ambient temperature changes.…”

“…The balanced doubler is attractive due to the good fundamental and odd harmonics suppression in contrast to its single ended counterpart [4]. However, active or passive baluns are compulsory in balanced topology [5]- [7]. The active balun introduces additional dc power and a passive one occupies large area.…”

An 85 to 110 GHz high efficiency, high output power frequency doubler is presented in this letter. The traveling-wave topology is used to generate even harmonics and suppress odd harmonics effectively. The output fundamental and 4th harmonic reflectors are applied to enhance the efficiency, conversion gain and fundamental rejection. The measured results show a peak conversion gain of 3.2 dB and peak efficiency of 11.2% with a saturated output power of 9 dBm at 100 GHz. The doubler exhibits higher than 30 dB fundamental rejection from 85 to 110 GHz with a compact chip size of 1.5 0.9 mm .Index Terms-Frequency doubler, high efficiency, high output power, reflectors, traveling-wave.

“…[4][5][6][7] In this letter, we present a frequency doubler working in the 94-GHz range (W -band) because the frequency window around 94 GHz is interesting for various wireless applications including passive millimeter wave imaging and Gigabits per second wireless data links due to the relatively low atmospheric attenuation. 8 good candidate and complement especially under low visibility conditions.…”

In this letter, we present a K a -band to W -band (47-GHz to 94-GHz) millimeter wave frequency doubler realized in 65-nm low power CMOS technology. The proposed W -band frequency multiplier features a conversion gain of about 2 dB at 0 dBm K a -band input signal power with a 10.6% −3 dB bandwidth from 88.7-GHz to 98.7-GHz. The maximum saturated output power to a 50-Ohm load is about 2.5-dBm. The suppression of the unwanted harmonics is more than 85-dBc. The DC power consumption of the proposed design is only 9.6 mW under a single 1.2-V supply.
