Design of voltage-controlled oscillators and frequency dividers for 60 GHZ wireless communication applications by Zou, Qiong

“…For the first-stage FD, the injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) with high division ratio is an attractive solution for mm-wave frequency synthesizers, but normally ILFDs suffer from narrow locking ranges, making them difficult to design for 60 GHz applications. In the thesis, a V-band divide-by-4 ILFD has been proposed. With the special topology involving dual oscillation loops, a wide locking range has been achieved at 60 GHz.…”
