A 93.4–104.8-GHz 57-mW fractional- N cascaded PLL with true in-phase injection-coupled QVCO in 65-nm CMOS technology

A fully integrated 93.4-104.8-GHz 57-mW fractional-N cascaded phase-locked loop (PLL) with true in-phase injection-coupled quadrature voltage-controlled oscillator (QVCO) is reported. By cascading the fractional-N PLL and the subsampling PLL, good phase noise, high resolution, and wide acquisition r...
