  • Patent number: 7683681
    Abstract: An injection-locked frequency divider is provided. The injection-locked frequency divider includes an active inductor unit, a source injection unit, a first transistor and a second transistor. The injection-locked frequency divider generates a frequency-divided signal having a half frequency of the signal source. A locking frequency range of the injection-locked frequency divider is determined by a quality factor of a resonant cavity. A quality factor of the active inductor unit is lower than a conventional spiral inductor because the active inductor unit is composed of active elements. In the injection-locked frequency divider, the active inductor unit is used to instead of the conventional spiral inductor, so that the chip area can be reduced and the locking frequency range of the injection-locked frequency divider can be increased. Further, an induction value of the active inductor unit can be altered to change the locking frequency range of the injection-locked frequency divider.
