Title
A 60 Ghz Cmos Combined Mm-Wave Vco/Divider With 10-Ghz Tuning Range
Abstract
This paper proposes the use of N-push operation for combining the functions of the VCO and dividers in the mm-wave frequency range. If employed in a PLL, the combined VCO/divider (C-VCO/D) would potentially provide wider tuning range than traditional mm-wave PLLs employing injection locked frequency dividers, thus exploiting the full range available in the 60GHz band (57GHz-64GHz). The C-VCO/D is fabricated in 130nm IBM CMOS technology and achieves a tuning range from 55GHz-65GHz using a VDD=1.5V, I-core=20mA, and I-buffer =15mA. The C-VCO/D has a phase noise of 97.1 dBc/Hz at 1MHz Offset.
