  • Abstract
    A 1.2 V 60 GHz 120 mW phase-locked loop employing a quadrature differential voltage-controlled oscillator, a programmable charge pump, and a frequency quadrupler is presented. Implemented in a 90 m CMOS process and operating at 60 GHz with a 1.2 V supply, the PLL achieves a phase noise of -91 dBc/Hz at a frequency offset of 1 MHz.
