   Abstract
    This paper presents a low-phase-noise mm-wave injection-locked frequency multiplier (ILFM) using an ultra-low-power frequency-tracking loop. The ILFM generates a frequency between 27 and 30GHz and the calibration loop, which only requires 600μW, limits phase-noise variation to 2dB up to 100MHz offset over 0.5-to-1.35V supply and 20°C-to-100°C temperature variations.
