Injection-Locked Frequency Multipliers

Abstract

The demand for energy-e cient clock generators grows with the spread of internet-of-things (IoT) in our lives. The IoT building blocks are requested to be very e cient so that the battery life could be extended. Besides that, re- ducing the power consumption of these clock generators in Data Centers leads to a reduction in costs of the electrical and cooling infrastructure of these centers. Moreover, the batteries in the mobile phone platform are considered the main challenge for mobile phone companies. There is a huge trend to reduce the power consumption of frequency multipliers to extend the battery life-time so that we can use a phone for a week and even more without charg- ing it.
