One high-sensitivity CMOS superregenerative receiver is demonstrated for 96GHz mm-wave imaging based on high-Q metamaterial oscillator. Compared to traditional LC-tank based oscillator, the metamaterial oscillator is developed by folded-differential transmission-line loaded complimentary split-ring...
