Abstract: This letter proposes a wide-locking range injection-locked frequency oscillator (ILO) fabricated in the 0.35 μm SiGe 3P3M BiCMOS technology. The divider consists of a hetero-junction bipolar transistor (HBT) cross-coupled LC oscillator and two injection HBTs in series with the cross-coupled HBTs. The HBT injectors and coupling transformers are regarded a voltage-to-voltage convection device to supply injection voltage to one port of mixer's input. At the supply voltage of 1.2 V, the free-running frequency is from 6.8 to 7.43 GHz, the current and power consumption of the divider without buffers are 9.4 mA and 11.28 mW, respectively. At the incident power of 0 dBm, the total operational locking range of the ILO used as a divide-by-3 frequency divider is from the incident frequency 20.3 to 23.1 GHz. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
