A 29GHz Injection-Locked Frequency Multiplier with a 600μW Frequency -Tracking Loop for mm-Band 5G Transceivers

 

ICSL’s paper (authors: Seyeon Yoo, Seojin Choi, Juyeop Kim, Heein Yoon, Yongsun Lee, and Prof. Jaehyouk Choi) “A 29GHz Injection-Locked Frequency Multiplier with a 600μW Frequency-Tracking Loop for mm-Band 5G Transceivers” has been accepted for presentation at 2017 IEEE ISSCC (International Solid-State Circuits Conference) in San Francisco in coming February. ISSCC is called “the Olympic in the field of semiconductor circuit designs” and it is considered to be great honor to present a paper from academia. ICSL has become to stand on a podium two years in a row.

In this year’s work, a new LO-generator architecture for multi-standard cellular transceivers which is capable of supporting 5G communications as well as 2G – 4G standards is presented. As a core circuit, an mm-band frequency synthesizer was designed and tested using TSMC’s 65nm CMOS technology.
