Abstract :
This paper reports the design and measurements of a 64 GHz push-push oscillator fabricated in 0.13 μm BiCMOS9 mW technology provided by STMicroelectronics. It achieves -14dBm output power at 68 GHz with good fundamental suppression. The VCO has a measured tuning range of 4 GHz from 64 GHz to 68 GHz (fundamentally from 32 GHz to 34 GHz). The oscillator consumes 20 mA, and the buffer has an additional consumption of 23 mA, under 1.8 V voltage supply.
