    Abstract: Systems and methods for integrating injection-locked oscillators into transceiver arrays are disclosed. In one aspect, there is provided an injection-locked oscillator (ILO) distribution system including a master clock generator configured to generate a master clock signal. The ILO distribution system also includes an ILO distribution circuit including an ILO and configured to receive the master clock signal. The ILO is configured to generate a reference clock signal based on the master clock signal. The ILO distribution circuit is further configured to generate an output signal indicative of an operating frequency of the ILO. The ILO distribution system further includes an injection-locked detector (ILD) configured to receive the master clock signal and the output signal. The ILD is further configured to determine whether the ILO is in a locked state or in an unlocked state based on the master clock signal and the output signal.

    Abstract: Embodiments can provide individualized controlling of noise injection during startup of a crystal oscillator. In some embodiments, a simple learning block can be placed in parallel to a oscillator circuit to control noise injection during the startup of the crystal oscillator. The learning block can be configured to control the noise injection during the startup of the crystal oscillator by determining whether the crystal oscillator has been stabilized. In some embodiments, an adjustment block may be employed to adjust the count determined by the learning block based on one or more measured characteristics of the crystal oscillator during a startup of the crystal oscillator. In some embodiments, a simple block that creates a negative capacitance can be configured in parallel to the crystal oscillator.

    Abstract: A detector includes an oscillation source, a frequency multiplier, a transceiver and a demodulator. The oscillation source generates a first injection signal with a first frequency. The frequency multiplier receives the first injection signal, outputs an output signal and receives a second injection signal with a second frequency. The frequency multiplier uses injection locking to lock a frequency of the output signal at a multiple of the first frequency, and uses injection pulling to pull the frequency of the output signal to the second frequency. The transceiver transmits the output signal and receives a received signal with a third frequency for updating the second injection signal. The demodulator performs a demodulation operation according to the output signal so as to generate a displacement signal.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a frequency multiplier apparatus. The frequency multiplier apparatus includes an injection-locked frequency multiplier and a frequency-to-control signal converter. The injection-locked frequency multiplier outputs an output signal having a first frequency in response to an input signal having a first basic frequency. The frequency-to-control signal converter provides a first control signal to the injection-locked frequency multiplier in response to the input signal. The injection-locked frequency multiplier adjusts the first frequency to a second frequency in response to a change of the first control signal when the first basic frequency is changed to a second basic frequency.
