Abstract

This article studies two wide‐locking range divide‐by‐4 injection locked frequency dividers (ILFDs) employing tunable active inductor (TAI), which are used to extend the locking range and to reduce die area. The CMOS differential ILFD is based on a TAI‐C tank Colpitts voltage‐controlled oscillator (VCO). The quadrature ILFD uses TAI‐C tanks and cross‐coupled switching pairs, the dynamic threshold MOSFETs (DTMOSs) are used to lower the supply voltage and power consumption. The ILFDs were fabricated in the 0.18‐μm 1P6M CMOS technology. At the supply voltage of 1.8 V, at the incident power of 0 dBm the locking range in the Colpitts ILFD in the divide‐by‐4 mode is about 5.45 GHz, from the incident frequency 3.75 to 9.2 GHz. The core power consumption is 4.93 mW. At the supply voltage of 1.4 V, at the incident power of 0 dBm the locking range in the QILFD in the divide‐by‐4 mode is about 7.41 GHz (103.6%), from the incident frequency 3.45–10.86 GHz. The core power consumption is 7.56 mW. The die area is 0.541 × 0.534 mm^2^. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
