Abstract
The present disclosure relates to an injection locked oscillator system and processes and, more particularly, to structures and processes for generating an inductor-less frequency multiplier using injection locking and histogram calibration with a back-gate process. The structure includes injection locked oscillator (ILO) system which is structured to provide a local oscillator (LO) and a Digitally Controlled Oscillator (DCO) or Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) frequency which is not harmonically related by an integer multiple to an output frequency.
