The proposed quadrupler comprises two push-push frequency doublers operating in deep class-C mode to ensure minimal static power consumption. The quadrupler is fabricated in the 22-nm FD-SOI process technology and uses an area of 0.5 × 0.41mm2. It generates a ≈ 60 GHz signal with a Pout of -10 dBm from a 15 GHz input signal and provides 10.8 GHz output bandwidth (18% fractional bandwidth). Its low power consumption and wide bandwidth make it attractive for many operations in the 60 GHz spectrum, including advanced communication with a high data rate. Operating from 54.9 − 65.7 GHz, its total power consumption is 12 mW, which includes the output pad driver; however, the core frequency quadrupler consumes only 5 mW due to deep class-C operation.application/pdfenIn CopyrightConference proceedingHa, Dong [0000-0003-4838-1773]
