A Radiation-Hardened Injection Locked Oscillator Devoted to Radio-Frequency Applications

Implemented in a 0.25 mum SiGe technology, a 5.2 GHz Injection Locked Oscillator (ILO) for Radio-Frequency (RF) applications is shown to be intrinsically radiation-hardened. Design principles and laser-based testing results are presented
