    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.

The first amplification module is coupled to the T-type circuit for receiving the filtered signal therefrom, and amplifies the filtered signal to generate an amplified signal. The second amplification module is coupled to the first amplification module for receiving the amplified signal therefrom, and amplifies the amplified signal to generate an output signal.
