Experimental characterization of Arnold tongues in injection-locked CMOS LC frequency dividers with tail and direct injection

Abstract

This paper describes an experimental technique for rapidly finding the boundaries of Arnold tongues. The method is suitable for characterizing the locking regions of injection-locked frequency dividers. The algorithm is described and examples are presented to demonstrate the value of the technique in comparing divider architectures with tail and direct injection. © 2011 IEEE.
