## Abstract This letter proposes a divide‐by‐3 frequency divider employing the linear mixer topology; the divider was fabricated in the 0.35‐μm CMOS 2P4M CMOS technology. The divider consists of an nMOS cross‐coupled LC oscillator and two injection MOSFETs in series with the cross‐coupled nMOSFETs.

✦ Synopsis
This paper presents a new divide-by-2 quadrature injection-locked frequency divider (QILFD). The QILFD consists of a new transformer-coupled quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (QVCO) with the voltagecurrent feedback technique and two NMOS switches, which are in parallel with the QVCO resonators for signal injection. The proposed CMOS QILFD has been implemented with the TSMC 0.35 lm CMOS technology and the core power consumption is 16.52 mW at the supply voltage of 2.2 V. The free-running frequency of the QILFD is tunable from 2.85 GHz to 3.07 GHz. At the input power of 0 dBm, the divide-by-2 operation range is from 5.48 GHz to 6.48 GHz. The phase deviation of free running quadrature output is about 0.53°.
