This paper presents a fully-integrated D-band frequency synthesizer (FS) in 0.13-m SiGe BiCMOS technology. The proposed FS consists of a 20-GHz phase-locked loop (PLL) and a frequency multiplier including a doubler (2) and a quadrupler (4). The FS generates the D-band output signals from 164.08 to 166.19GHz. At 166.19GHz, the measured phase noises (PN) at 100-kHz and 1-MHz offset frequencies are 54.07dBc/Hz and 72.29dBc/Hz, respectively. The proposed FS achieves the low power dissipation of around 110mW and the chip area is including all testing pads. The FS has great potential to be used for low-power D-band applications.
