Description

Broadband injection locking frequency multiplier
Technical Field
The invention relates to a broadband injection locking frequency multiplier, belonging to the technical field of radio frequency and analog integrated circuits of microelectronics and solid electronics.
Background
In recent years, wireless communication technology is rapidly developed, and development of millimeter wave and terahertz frequency bands becomes a hot spot, and the design of a wireless transceiver with high integration, high broadband and low power consumption becomes very important. Wireless transceiver systems rely on reliable intermediate frequency signals to enable better system performance. The frequency multiplier is used as an important component in an intermediate frequency signal generation link and completes the function of frequency multiplication of fundamental wave frequency.
In the use of intermediate frequency signals, frequency doubling measures are frequently required to improve the system performance. In a superheterodyne receiver architecture or a double-conversion zero-if transceiver architecture, two intermediate frequency signals, one high and one low, need to be used. In a transceiver, a phase-locked loop is generally used to provide a reliable and stable intermediate frequency signal, but a single phase-locked loop has a limited bandwidth and can only provide a single intermediate frequency signal, and in a system requiring the use of multiple intermediate frequency signals, the use of multiple phase-locked loops is unreasonable in terms of chip area and power consumption, and thus the output of the phase-locked loop needs to be multiplied or divided in frequency to flexibly adjust the intermediate frequency.
The next generation of 5G wireless communications, which requires MIMO transceivers to support 28GHz, 37GHz and 39GHz, providing such a wide range of intermediate frequency would be a formidable challenge. In the future, the ultra-high-speed wireless communication with wider band can be realized in E band (60-90 GHz) and W band (75-110 GHz), a voltage-controlled oscillator is designed in the frequency range and above to obtain good phase noise and lower power consumption, the design difficulty is huge, the design difficulty can be reduced by using a scheme of frequency doubling of lower frequency signals by a frequency multiplier, and better phase noise can be obtained, wherein the injection locking frequency multiplier is used as a low-power-consumption design to control the final power consumption in a lower range.
When the total phase shift of an ideal inverter at a certain frequency reaches 360 degrees, if the Barkhausen criterion is met, a resonance signal is generated at the frequency, and if an injection signal with proper amplitude and frequency is selected and added, the resonance signal is pulled to be consistent with the injection signal, so that the injection locking phenomenon is generated. The injection locking frequency doubler is injected by using the double frequency of the fundamental wave generated by the push-push pair, so that the signal resonates at the double frequency. The output signal power is basically obtained by resonance, so that the injection locking frequency doubler has the characteristic of low power consumption. The injection locking frequency tripler is used for injecting the triple frequency of the generated fundamental wave, so that the signal is resonated at the triple frequency, and the injection locking frequency tripler also has the characteristic of low power consumption.
The document "Li A, Zheng S, Yin J, et al.A 21-48 GHz fundamental Injection-Locked Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizer for Multiband Point-to-Point Backhaul Communications [ J ]. IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits,2014,49(8):1785 and 1799". The Injection-Locked Frequency multiplier has a very high locking range by using a 6-step transformer design. However, the 6-order transformer adopts a 3-turn inductor design, and a frequency doubling signal is injected into the resonant cavity and cannot obtain a flat gain, so that the phenomenon that one end of a locking range is easy to lock and the other end of the locking range is difficult to lock can occur.
The document "Zhang J, Liu H, Zhao C, et al.a 22.8-to-43.2GHz tuning-less injection-locked frequency triple injection-current boosting with 76.4% locking range for multiband 5G applications [ C ]// Solid-state Circuits reference. ieee, 2018" also adopts a 6-step transformer design, achieving triple frequency injection locking. But the lock range narrows rapidly as the input power decreases.
