Abstract

In W-band imaging and radar systems, transmitters (TXs) need to generate signals with high output power and low jitter while consuming low power [1,2]. However, existing CMOS W-band TXs need to cascade many power-hungry linear power-amplifier (PA) stages due to low transistor gains and high passive loss [3,4]. Even so, their output power is still quite limited, resulting in low efficiency. In addition, existing W-band phase-locked loops (PLLs) suffer from large jitter because of large phase noise and reference spurs.
