Abstract(in English) This paper describes the design and experimental results for two types of CMOS frequency doublers (DBRs). One is for up-conversion from 1.2 GHz to 2.4 GHz, and the other is for up conversion from 2.6 to 5.2 GHz. These DBRs were fabricated using a standard 0.18-um bulk CMOS technology. The 1.2/2.4-GHz DBR with a differential input/output interface uses a drain-coupled, common source FET pair instead of a Gilbert-cell core in order to avoid a limited voltage headroom problem and obtain a large second harmonic voltage swing even under a 1.8-V low supply voltage condition. For the 2.6/5.2-GHz DBR, a current-reuse circuit-design technique is successfully incorporated into the DBR to realize both on chip input/output matching and adequate conversion gain with low current dissipation. This DBR with a single input/output interface features a bypass resistor placed between common ground and a source node of the second stage FET in the current-reuse topology, thereby improving conversion gain while saving waste current. The experimental results obtained under a 1.8-V supply voltage condition are as follows. For the 1.2/2.4-GHz DBR, a 0-dB conversion gain, less than -20 dB fundamental frequency leakage, and a 6-mA low current dissipation are achieved with a -2-dBm single channel input power. The 2.6/5.2 GHz DBR delivers a 2.7-dB maximum conversion gain and less than -20 dB fundamental frequency leakage with a 7-mA low current consumption under a -7-dBm low input power condition.
