This paper presents a broadband high operating frequency divide-by-2 frequency divider. This divider uses sourcecoupled logic (SCL) with two static loading master-slave D latches which achieves high input operating frequency, high input sensitivity and low power dissipation. This divider can work from 8GHz~ 27GHz and the input power is -40dBm@18GHz. The chip area is 735μm×480μm with only 4.6mW ...

A novel type of power divider, featuring arbitrary power ratio and arbitrary ripple level, is proposed. This divider consists of a two-port filtering structure connected to a circulator and is straightforwardly designed using microwave filter synthesis techniques. An example is provided, with low-pass domain synthesis and experimental divider demonstration at the Xband, after low-pass to bandpa...

A high-speed triple-modulus frequency divider (FD) is designed and fabricated in a 90-nm CMOS process. With three pairs of nMOS switches inserted in the signal paths of the regenerative divider, the FD can offer three selectable division ratios of 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4. The corresponding behavior model of the proposed divider is utilized to explain the operation principle and analyze the locking ra...

Abstract—This paper presents a novel tri-band unequal Wilkinson power divider. The proposed structure is derived from the conventional unequal Wilkinson power divider by replacing the quarter-wavelength branch lines and quarter-wavelength transformers with the extended T-shaped short stubs and three-section transformers respectively. The first and third operating frequencies of the proposed Wil...

This work describes the design of a divder technique Low-power techniques are applied in the design of the unit, and energy-delay tradeoffs considered. The energy dissipation in the divider can be reduced by up to 70% with respect to a standard implementation not optimized for energy, without penalizing the latency. In this dividing technique we compare the radix-8 divider is compared with one ...

This letter presents an inductor-loaded 2:1 regenerative frequency divider operating up to 331.2 GHz in an InP HBT process, which, to the best of authors’ knowledge, is the fastest frequency divider reported thus far. On-wafer measurement shows that the divider is operating from 304.8 GHz to 331.2 GHz, with output power from 27 dBm to 12.3 dBm (no probe loss correction), while dissipating 85.5 ...

Abstract: A method for calibrating multi-decade inductive voltage dividers has been developed which makes it possible to determine both the inphase and the quadrature error for ratios of i /11, i = 1, 2, ..., 10 in the frequency range from 400 Hz to 5 kHz. Calibration is made by comparing the divider under test against a reference two-stage divider having a ratio winding with 11 identical secti...

A new broadband in-phase power divider based on multilayer technology is presented. A simple design procedure is developed for the proposed multilayer power divider. An S-band four-way multilayer power divider was designed and measured. The simulated results are compared with the measured data, and good agreement is reported. The measured 15 dB return loss bandwidth is demonstrated to be about ...

A current-mode squarer/divider circuit with a novel translinear cell is presented for automotive applications. The proposed circuit technique increases the accuracy of the squarer/divider function with better input dynamic range and temperature insensitivity. Simulation results show that the variation of the output current is within ±0.2% over the temperature range from −40◦C to 140◦C. key word...
