Patent attributes
Described embodiments include a circuit having a quadrature phase generator circuit having differential generator inputs, in-phase differential generator outputs and quadrature-phase differential generator outputs. A first frequency multiplier circuit has first differential multiplier inputs and a first multiplier output, wherein the first differential multiplier inputs are coupled to the in-phase differential generator outputs. A second frequency multiplier circuit has second differential multiplier inputs and a second multiplier output. The second multiplier differential inputs are coupled to the quadrature-phase differential generator outputs. A transformer includes a primary inductor and a secondary inductor, wherein the primary inductor is coupled between the first and second multiplier outputs, and the second inductor is coupled between an output voltage terminal and a ground terminal.
