A Multi-Mode Multi-Coil Coupled Tuned Inductive Peaking ILFD for Low Injected Power With Compact Size

In this paper, a multi-mode magnetically coupled and tuned inductive peaking technique with impedance transforming capability is proposed to achieve a wider operational locking range in the injection locked frequency divider (ILFD) for low injected power levels. Fabricated in 65 nm CMOS process, the...
