Abstract

A sub-harmonic RF transmitter architecture with simultaneous power combination and carrier-leakage cancellation is proposed. It employs an 8-phase ring-type voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), sub-harmonic mixers, driver amplifiers, and a balun. A signal power is combined with its 180° phase-shifted signal through the balun. Simultaneously carrier-leakage generating in sub-harmonic mixers is canceled by its phase difference. The proposed transmitter achieved 1dBm 1-dB output compression point (P-1dB) under 1.8V supply and -40dBm carrier-leakage in 5GHz band.
