Abstract: An injection locked frequency divider includes: a resonator circuit including first to fourth inductors; and a mixer circuit receiving an input signal with an input frequency. Each of the third and fourth inductors is coupled between a respective one of the first and second inductors and the mixer circuit. The two circuits cooperate to form a tank circuit having a free-running frequency and defining a frequency locking range which is around three times the free-running frequency and within which the input frequency falls. By at least performing mixing with a differential reference signal pair, the mixer circuit generates, based on the input signal, a differential mixed signal pair with a frequency that is one-third the input frequency.

Abstract: A frequency-shift keying (FSK) receiver includes an injection-locking oscillating circuit to receive a FSK input signal, and a phase detecting circuit. The injection-locking oscillating circuit outputs a locked signal having a phase that tracks a phase of the FSK input signal. A difference between the phases of the FSK input signal and the locked signal is associated with a difference between a frequency of the FSK input signal and a free-running frequency of the injection-locking oscillating circuit. The phase detecting circuit receives the FSK input signal and the locked signal, and outputs a baseband logic signal according to the difference between the phases of the FSK input signal and the locked signal.

Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator includes an oscillation generator, two inductors and two amplifiers. The oscillation generator generates two oscillation voltage signals based on a control voltage. Each inductor receives a respective oscillation voltage signal, and provides a respective input voltage signal. Each amplifier generates a respective current signal based on a respective input voltage signal. When one of the current signals has a magnitude that varies according to a magnitude of the respective input voltage signal, the other of the current signals has a constant magnitude. The current signals are combined into an output current signal at a common node of the amplifiers.

Abstract: A mixer includes a transconductance circuit and a mixing circuit. The transconductance circuit includes a capacitor and first and second transconductance modules. The first transconductance module converts a single-ended to-be-shifted voltage signal at a first terminal of the capacitor into a first input current signal. The second transconductance module converts a voltage signal at a second terminal of the capacitor into a second input current signal that cooperates with the first input current signal to constitute a differential input current signal pair. The mixing circuit mixes the differential input current signal pair with a differential oscillatory voltage signal pair to generate a differential mixed voltage signal pair.
