Abstract
A 96-GHz fixed-frequency fundamental oscillator with high efficiency is presented, realized using a transferred-substrate (TS) 0.8 μm InP-DHBT process. It delivers 9 dBm output power, with phase noise values of −90 dBc/Hz and −118 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz and 10 MHz offset frequency, respectively. DC consumption is only 30 mW from a 1.6 volts power supply, which corresponds to the highest overall DC-to-RF efficiency of a millimeter-wave frequency source reported to date.
