Abstract

The individual blocks of broadband up-conversion mixer and frequency tripler for 60 GHz up-converter in 90 nm CMOS technology are demonstrated. Utilized the active balun and RC-feedback topology, the up-conversion double-balance mixer can operate with single-ended IF input signal. The inductive peaking technique is also used in proposed mixer to improve the IF bandwidth. Furthermore, the Gm-boosted frequency tripler consist with buffer amplifier and high pass filter are provides low conversion loss and high harmonic suppression for high quality LO feeding mixer. In the measurement results, the mixer was obtained with conversion gain of 0.78 dB and 3-dB LO bandwidth from 53 to 65 GHz. A wide IF 3-dB bandwidth from dc to 3.8 GHz are achieves under a power consumption of 27.8 mW. Also, the frequency tripler exhibit the low conversion loss of 5.24 dB and wide output 3-dB bandwidth form 51.3 to 70.2 GHz with total power consumption of 44.3 mW.
