“…Its rapid-scan characteristics accompanied with tracking multiple targets and jump-scan make it prime candidates for application. As a result, a large number of researchers work on it and put forward utilization of ultra-wideband (UWB) time-domain antenna array scan in the field of UWB radar [1][2][3]. UWB impulse radar can transmit and receive short-pulse signals and preserve waveform well.…”

This article proposes a CMOS LC-tank injection locked frequency tripler (ILFT) fabricated in 0.13 lm CMOS process and describes the circuit design, operation principle and measurement results of the ILFT. The differential input/output ILFT circuit is realized with a first-harmonic injection-locked oscillator (ILO) stacked in series on two transconductance amplifiers used as a third harmonic generator. The first-harmonic ILO with a series-tuned LC resonator amplifies the signal from the third harmonic generated transconductance amplifier. At the supply voltage of 0.75 V, the free-running frequency of the ILO is from 9.14 GHz to 9.40 GHz. At the incident power of 0 dBm, the total locking range is from the incident frequency 2.95 GHz to 3.43 GHz.

“…Frequency-multiplier [1][2][3] is an important circuit in frequency synthesis, clock distribution, and has a wide range of microwave applications. It is used to translate a very stable local oscillator signal to a higher frequency for use with either up-conversion or down-conversion mixers.…”
