초록

본 논문은 캐리어 주파수가 240 GHz인 THz 대역 송수신기에 있어서, 서브하모닉 믹서의 LO 주파수로 사용되는 120 GHz 국부발진기의 설계 및 제작에 관한 것이다. 120 GHz 국부발진기는 40 GHz PLL(Phase Locked Loop), 40 GHz 대역통과필터(Band Pass Filter), 3 체배기(frequency tripler), 120 GHz 대역통과필터로 구성되어 있으며, 3 체배기는 상용품을 이용하였다. 40 GHz PLL의 위상잡음은 100 kHz offset 주파수에서 -105 dBc/Hz의 성능을 보였고, 120 GHz의 대역통과필터의 중심주파수 119 GHz, 대역폭 5 GHz 일 때 삽입손실은 1.3 dB로 측정되었다. 제작된 120 GHz 국부발진기의 최종 출력은 6.6 dBm이었다.

In this paper, a 120 GHz local oscillator(LO) for the sub-harmonic mixer in the THz transceiver with a carrier frequency of 240 GHz was designed and fabricated. A 120 GHz local oscillator was composed of 40 GHz PLL(Phase Locked Loop), 40 GHz BPF(Band Pass Filter), frequency tripler and 120 GHz BPF. The commercial model of the frequency tripler was used. The measured result of the 40 GHz PLL showed the phase noise of -105 dBc/Hz at the 100 kHz offset frequency. The measured result of 120 GHz BPF showed the insertion loss of 1.3 dB at center frequency of 119 GHz with bandwidth of 5 GHz. The output power of 120 GHz LO was measured to 6.6 dBm.
