A wide-locking range SiGe BiCMOS divide-by-3 injection locked oscillators

An active inductor oscillator-based divide-by-3 injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) is proposed, and was implemented in the 0.35 µm SiGe 3P3M BiCMOS technology. Measurement results show that when the supply voltage Vdd is biased at 3.0 V, the free-running oscillation frequency of the ILFD is tunable from 3.84 GHz to 3.13 GHz, and at the incident power of 0 dBm and the Vtune = 2.5 V, the locking range is about 1.67 GHz, from the incident frequency 10.24 GHz to 11.91 GHz. The core power consumption is 4.32 mW at Vdd = 3.0 V.
