Abstract

A phase lock loop (PLL) is an important component in wireless systems. CMOS technology offers voltage controlled oscillator designs operating at 60 GHz. One of the difficulties is dividing the high frequency clock down to a manageable clock frequency using conventional CMOS. Although injection locked dividers can divide down this clock frequency, these dividers have limitations. A divide by 2 is presented that uses several techniques; feed forward, clock amplification and series peaked inductors to overcome these limitations.
