Abstract

We report a fully integrated 272 GHz direct-conversion transmitter in 250nm InP HBT technology. The transmitter has more than 18dB conversion gain over 264-285GHz, consumes 1. 6W, and has 14. ldBm output power at 272 GHz. Its-3dB bandwidth is 18 GHz, while its-6dB bandwidth is 36 GHz. An internal 8:1 active frequency multiplier generates the local oscillator. To the authors' knowledge, the IC demonstrates record saturated output power for an integrated transmitter operating near 272 GHz.
