The ILFD was fabricated in the 0.18 mum 1P6M CMOS technology, and it has the modulus of 2, 3, 4, and 5, and can be used as a first-harmonic injection-locked oscillator (ILO). The divide-by-3 function is performed by injecting differential a signal to the bodies of cross-coupled transistors in the VCO. At the supply voltage of 1.5 V, the free-running divider is tunable from 0.53 to 1.72 GHz. At the incident power of 0 dBm the operation range in the first-harmonic ILO is from the incident frequency 0.53 to 3.2 GHz. The operation range in the divide-by-3 (divide-by-2) mode is about 3.59 (4.13) GHz, from the incident frequency 1.55 to 5.14 (0.87 to 5.0) GHz.
