Abstract :
Owing to the nanoscale CMOS technology, mm-wave circuits have been recently attracting a lot of attention for communication, sensing and imaging systems. Several mm-wave components with operation frequencies around or more than 100 GHz have been reported. The frequency divider is one of the key building blocks in wireless transceivers. Several W-Band (75 to 110 GHz) and D-Band (90 to 140 GHz) ILFDs and static dividers have been presented. In this work, a 128.24 to 137.00 GHz CMOS ILFD with split- injection and split-cross-coupled pair is presented for D-Band applications.
