Abstract:
The worldwide available frequency bands around 60GHz offer new opportunities for high-data-rate communication. Despite the large amount of research on CMOS mm-wave frequency generation, current state-of-the-art mm-wave PLLs [1–5] do not achieve a tuning range that is wide enough to cover the worldwide union of bands around 60GHz (57 to 66GHz), with some margin for process and temperature variations. Achieving a large tuning range is hampered by the limited varactor tunability at 60GHz, and the need for a high-frequency prescaler with a wide locking range.
