摘要：

This letter presents a 220-261-GHz frequency multiplier-by-18 chain in a 130-nm SiGe BiCMOS technology. It consists of three amplifiers (12-15, 110-135, and 216-270 GHz), two frequency triplers (36-45 and 108-135 GHz), a third-order Chebyshev bandpass filter (36-45 GHz), and a modified Gilbert-cell-based frequency doubler (216-270 GHz). The peak output power is about 8 dBm at 240 GHz with a 3-dB bandwidth of 41 GHz for an input power of -7 dBm. The unwanted harmonics are suppressed more than 25 dBc over the frequency range of interest. It consumes a dc current of 114.7 mA from a supply voltage of 3.3 V in the quiescent operation and drains a current of 130 mA for an input power of -7 dBm, which results in a drain efficiency of 1.47%. The total circuit occupies an area of 0.58 mm(2) (1.35 mm x 0.43 mm).
