Presented is a D-band divide-by-3 injection-locked frequency divider (ILFD) based on a ring oscillator in a 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The ILFD exhibits a locking range of 7.9 GHz (132.5-140.4 GHz) at an input signal power of -2 dBm, dissipating a total DC power of 71.2 mW. The ILFD core occupies an area of 0.0021 mm2.
