Popis: A novel wide locking range divide-by-4 injection-locked frequency divider ILFD is proposed in the paper and was implemented in the TSMC 0.18µm 1P6M CMOS process. The divide-by-4 ILFD uses two injection transistors in series and DC-biased above threshold voltage and a frequency doubler to enhance the function of linear mixers. At the drain-source bias of 0.9V and at the incident power of 0 dBm, the locking range of the divide-by-4 is 2.6GHz; from the incident frequency 12.2to 14.8GHz, the percentage is 19.26%. The core power consumption is 10.35mW. The die area of ILFD is 1.026×0.943mm2. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
