In this work, an architecture for coupled terahertz (THz) VCOs is presented. The architecture utilizes four coupled triple-push VCOs and combines the generated third harmonic currents using slow-wave coplanar waveguide (S-CPW) at 300 GHz. Coupling four cores increases output power, and use of S-CPW reduces the loss and increases the quality factor of the VCO tank. It is shown that using S-CPW results in ~2.6 dB of lower loss as compared to the conventional CPW or grounded-CPW (GCPW) structures. The VCO is tuned using parasitic tuning technique and achieves 1.7% frequency tuning range (FTR). The proposed structure is designed and fabricated in a 65-nm bulk CMOS process. The measured peak output power of the 295-to-301 GHz VCO is 0.9 dBm (≈1.25 mW) at 300 GHz while consuming 235 mW (with a DC to RF efficiency of 0.52%).","PeriodicalId":163595,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC)","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133388055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A testing prototype is fabricated in a 0.18-μm CMOS technology (fmax ≈ 40 GHz). A 120-mV peak-to-peak pulse output at a center frequency of 13.4GHz with a wide bandwidth of 7.46 GHz is measured.

However, the use of a serial bus within the RF front end increases the risk that RF energy, particularly from the Power Amplifier (PA), can corrupt the RFFE bus communication. RF coupling to areas such as the RFFE serial clock (SCLK) signal seen within the PA's RFFE state machine can result in communication errors with the PA. This coupling can be to the SCLK signal itself, or to the PA's CMOS controller's ground reference. PA designers must pay special attention to the positioning and design of the CMOS controller and the internal routing of signals to the controller to avoid these problems. This paper provides a detailed analysis of how RF energy coupling to the internal CMOS controller can create “glitches” on the SCLK signal that cause communication errors. A simple example is provided to illustrate how choices in PA module layout can significantly impact these issues. A natural extension of these concepts applies to phone or radio board layouts, too.","PeriodicalId":163595,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Symposium (RFIC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133239119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
