Abstract

This study proposes a new divide‐by‐3 CMOS injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) fabricated in a 0.18‐μm CMOS process and describes the operation principle of the ILFD. The ILFD circuit is realized with a Hartley CMOS LC‐tank oscillator with two injection MOSFETs. The self‐oscillating VCO is injection‐locked by third‐harmonic input to obtain the division order of three. Measurement results show that at the supply voltage of 1.5 V, the free‐running frequency is from 3.86 to 4.27 GHz. At the incident power of 6 dBm, the locking range is from the incident frequency 12.13–12.86 GHz. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract An LC divide‐by‐2/3 injection‐locked frequency divider (ILFD) is described, where a pair of switched capacitors is used to select the division ratio between 2 and 3. The locking range analysis of the ILFD based on the gain and phase conditions is discussed. Based on the analysis, the op
