This article proposes a quad-core millimeter-wave (mm-wave) voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) using a compact multi-mode magnetically coupled LC network. The network can be …

This paper describes a mode-switching quad-core-coupled millimeter-wave (mm-wave)
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), using a single-center-tapped (SCT) switched inductor for …

In this paper, we propose a 60-GHz fractional-digital frequency synthesizer aimed at
reducing its phase noise (PN) at both the flicker () and thermal () regions while minimizing its …

The minimal achievable phase noise (PN) of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) voltage-controlled
oscillators (VCOs) is bounded by the smallest realizable inductor with a reasonable high …

To satisfy the requirements for multi-standard frequency generation, mode-switching
oscillators are developed to increase the frequency tuning range without incurring …

A fully integrated sub-terahertz (sub-THz) frequency synthesizer is proposed cascading a
radio frequency subsampling phase-locked loop (SS-PLL) with millimeter-wave injection …

This article analyses and demonstrates a 22.5-27.7-GHz fast-lock low-phase-noise bang-
bang digital phase-locked loop (PLL) for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) communication. A …

The recent development of the 5th-generation (5G) communication sytems has set
increasingly strict requirements on the spectral purity of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) local …

In this work, a novel phase frequency detector (PFD) architecture using pass transistor logic
is proposed. The circuit does not have a reset path, resulting in the elimination of blind zone …

This article describes the implementation of a 30-GHz frequency synthesizer. The target is to
reduce the gap in terms of jitter-power product that exists between millimeter-wave and RF …
