SELF-DIVIDING OSCILLATORS

摘要

A system for generating in-phase and quadrature phase signals is provided. The system includes a first and a second differential output, such as from a sinusoidal oscillator. A first injection-locked frequency divider, such as one that uses an LC oscillator in conjunction with cross-coupled transistors, receives the first differential output and generates a in-phase or in-phase output. A second injection-locked frequency divider receives the second differential output and generates a quadrature phase output.
