N2 - A WR1.5 frequency multiplier circuit using standard CMOS 65nm technology is presented. Careful choice of device and its gate size leads to fair amount of output power compared to other expensive high performance semiconductor process. Accumulation-mode varactor device is chosen for its high non-linearity and gate size of the varactor is enlarged until self-resonance occur at fundamental frequency. Simple doubler circuit is designed using single-balanced topology. Two types of power measurements are performed to verify results. The maximum output power of -21.8dBm is obtained at 59 GHz which is comparable output power considering process cost.
