N2  - This letter presents a 300 GHz transmitter front-end suitable for ultrahigh-speed wireless communications. The transmitter front-end realized in TSMC 40 nm CMOS consists of a varactor based doubler driven by a three-stage D-band power amplifier (PA). Measurement results show that the D-band PA obtains a saturated power of 6.1 dBm and a power added efficiency (PAE) of 4.3%. The balanced varactor doubler results in an output power of -12 dBm at 300 GHz. The transmitter front-end consumes a total DC power of 72.9 mW from a 0.9 V supply voltage while it occupies an area of 0.72 mm2.
