Abstract
In this work, a 54 GHz divide-by-3 injection-locked frequency divider(ILFD) based on ring oscillator has been developed in a 0.13-${\mu}M$ Si RFCMOS technology for phase-locked loop(PLL) application. The free-running frequency is 18.92~19.31 GHz with tuning range of 0~1.8 V, consuming 70 mW with a 1.8 V supply voltage. At 0 dBm input power, the locking range is 1.02 GHz(54.82~55.84 GHz) and, with varactor tuning of 0~1.8 V, the total operating range is 2.4 GHz(54.82~57.17 GHz). The fabricated circuit size is 0.42 mm${\times}$0.6 mm including probing pads and 0.099 mm${\times}$0.056 mm for core area.
