Abstract—An enhancement to a conventional integer- phaselocked loop (PLL) is introduced, analyzed, and demonstrated experimentally to significantly reduce voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) phase noise. The enhancement, which involves periodically
A 320 GHz fully integrated terahertz imaging system is reported. The system is composed of a phaselocked high-power transmitter and a coherent high-sensitivity subharmonic-mixing receiver, which are fabricated using a 130 nm SiGe BiCMOS technology (
