Abstract :
A novel injection-locked balanced oscillator (ILBO) topology is proposed. The circuit is simple to design, small and has low power consumption. The external injection signal is applied at the centre point of the balanced oscillator with a minor increase in complexity for the matching circuit. The technique is demonstrated practically in the 1.8 GHz band. An excellent amplitude and phase balance of the ILBO is achieved
