A K-Band FMCW Frequency Synthesizer Using Q-Boosted Switched Inductor VCO in SiGe BiCMOS for 77 GHz Radar Applications

In this article, a fractional-N phase-locked loop (PLL) with integrated chirp generation circuit block for a 76~81 GHz frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar system is presented. Thanks to the switched inductor voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) topology, the linearity, phase noise, chirp...
