- Abstract
This paper proposes a 217.6–227-GHz signal generator with injection locking technique in 65-nm CMOS process. The injection locking technique is exploited to synchronize the phases of the two individual voltage control oscillators (VCOs) and improve the output power. The phase noise of the proposed signal generator is improved. The full-layout electromagnetic (EM) simulation in collaboration with the post-layout simulation is utilized to verify the proposed signal generator. The simulation results show that the frequency tuning range is 9.4 GHz, and the output power is larger than − 14.25 dBm. The phase noise at 1 MHz off the carrier is better than − 92.12 dBc/Hz. The signal generator occupies a compact silicon area of 0.23 mm2 including all testing pads.
