  • Abstract
    A coplanar subharmonic injection locked W-band HEMT VCO with an integrated varactor diode and buffer amplifier was developed, achieving a tuning range of 10 GHz and an output power of 8 dBm at 94 GHz. The oscillator was stabilized by subharmonic injection locking to reduce phase noise and simultaneously by an external phase-locked-loop (PLL) circuit to compensate for temperature drift. The locking range of the system was extended to 1 GHz by the use of the PLL circuit.
