Abstract :
A 100 GHz dynamic frequency divider and a 62 GHz static frequency divider are presented, both using a -3.8 V supply and designed in IBM´s 0.12 μm SiGe technology with fT of 207 GHz and fMAX of 285 GHz. Static divider performance is compared to three other static dividers designed in IBM´s 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology.
