Abstract

This paper derives and analyzes the s-domain linear and time domain nonlinear models for a C-band wide locking range injection locked voltage controlled oscillator (ILVCO). Van der Pol equation is conducted to describe the behavior of ILVCO with different injection frequencies. Three phase plane plots, that are free-run, injection locked, and chaos states, are observed. The proposed ILVCO is fabricated in tsmc™ 0.18 μm 1P6M process. The measurements show that the locking range is from 3.6 GHz to 6.4 GHz at 0-dBm input power. The locking bandwidth is calculated as 56%.
