Abstract
An injection locked frequency divider includes a signal injection unit, a Hartley voltage controlled oscillator and a biasing unit. The signal injection unit and the biasing unit output an injection signal to the Hartley voltage controlled oscillator to bias the Hartley voltage controlled oscillator. The Hartley voltage controlled oscillator, which includes a first transistor, a second transistor and a LC tank, receives the injection signal and outputs a differential output signal through a first output terminal and a second output terminal. First terminals of the first and second transistors are respectively coupled to the first and second output terminals, and second terminals of the first and second transistors are coupled to a first node. The LC tank decides a resonant frequency of the Hartley voltage controlled oscillator and serves as a positive feedback circuit for the first and second transistors.
