摘要：

In this paper, a 124-132.5 GHz frequency quadrupler using inter coupling superposition (ICS) technique is presented. A phase shifting buffer based on distributed structure is designed to switch on and off the quadrupler cells orthogonally; with the concept of inter cell coupling, each quadrupler cell generates "W" shape signal during 'ON' state and behaves as negative impedance to provide extra signal power to the output port when it is in 'OFF' state. The outputs of the four quadrupler cells are finally added to be in phase. Through the above output power enhancement techniques, a 4.4 dBm maximum output power at 130 GHz is achieved, with power efficiency of 10.6/2.4% (without/with buffers). The 0.13 mu m SiGe BiCMOS process is used to fabricate the design and the quadrupler core and the buffers consume 26mW and 89mW of DC power, respectively.
