Abstract :
We present a 220 GHz fundamental PLL, based on a 220 GHz VCO, 2:1 dynamic frequency divider, fifth-order sub-harmonic phase detector, active loop filter, and output amplifier, fabricated in an InP HBT technology. The measured PLL locking range was 220.0 to 225.9 GHz, with -83 dBc/Hz of phase noise at a 100 KHz offset, while consuming 465.3 mW. The PLL occupies 1.1 mm2 including pads.
