  • Abstract
    Four stage injection locked ring oscillator frequency divider by 16 is presented in this letter. Test chip was fabricated in IHP 0.25 μm SiGe:C HBT BiCMOS technology (200/200 GHz fT /fMAX ). Test chip area is 0.24 mm2 with core size of only 116 × 80 μm2. Total power consumption is 23.8 mW from 3 V supply for all cores. The divider operates in a frequency range of 34 to >; 67 GHz with the input power level of -10 dBm. Very good first stage FOM value of 6.7 GHz/mW is reported.
