324GHz CMOS Frequency Generator Using Linear Superposition Technique

This paper presents CMOS for terahertz applications, substantially extended the operation range of deep-submicron CMOS by using a linear superposition method, in which we have realized a 324GHz frequency generator in 90nm digital CMOS with 4GHz tuning range under 1V supply voltage.
