            Abstract : 
A complete frequency synthesizer occupying 1.1 mm2 in 65 nm CMOS is presented. It is composed of a push-push quadrature VCO that delivers two L0 signals in 20 and 40 GHz bands. The PLL consumes 80 mW including buffers, and achieves a phase noise lower than -100 and -97.5 dBc/Hz for the 20 GHz and the 40 GHz signals, respectively.
