The present invention relates to a delay-locked loop-based multiphase clock generator that generates a plurality of multiphase clocks from an input clock signal using a voltage controlled delay line including a plurality of dummy cells. The delay-locked loop-based multiphase clock generator includes an anti-harmonic lock circuit that receives an input clock and a reference clock of multiple clocks, determines whether a pulse signal derived from the input clock is within a normal locking range of the reference clock, and outputs a compulsory control signal to compulsorily control an output signal of a phase detector if it is determined that the pulse signal is not within the normal locking range.
