Abstract

A circuit for calibrating an injection locked oscillator is provided. The injection locked oscillator includes an injection locking input, an LC tank and an oscillator output to output an oscillator output signal. The circuit is configured to adjust a capacitance of the LC tank to different values, detect an amplitude of the oscillator output signal for each value of the different values of the capacitance while an input signal having a target frequency is applied to the injection locking input, determine a maximum amplitude of the detected amplitudes, and select a value for operating the injection locked oscillator based on the determined maximum amplitude.
