This paper presents the design and analysis of an LO chain implemented using the CMOS 65 nm bulk process. The LO chain was fabricated for driving the short-range radar IQ mixer in the 77∼81 GHz band. The LO chain comprised a poly phase filter (PPF), driver amplifiers to compensate for PPF losses, and a 3-bit 7-dB attenuator to ensure the appropriate power conditions. Measurement results indicated that the maximum gain within the target band was 8 dB, and the gain and phase difference between the IQ outputs were 0.5 dB and 74°, respectively. The LO chain consumed 74 mW of power at 1 V, and the size of the fabricated chip was 1.027×0.45 mm 2 , including RF and DC pads.
