The increasing computation requirements of modern computer applications have stimulated a large interest in developing extremely high-performance floating-point dividers. A variety of division algorithms are available, with SRT being utilized in many computer systems. A careful analysis of SRT divider topologies has demonstrated that a relatively simple divider designed in an aggressive circuit...

Introduction: Fractional-N frequency dividers allow PLL Synthesizers to have frequency resolutions finer than the reference frequency. However, there are two disadvantages in a fractional-N divider, namely, fractional spurs generation and frequency range limitation. A fractional-N divider generates fractional spurs due to the fixed pattern of the dual-modulus divider [1]. The frequency range of...

A generalized modal scattering matrix formulation is presented for the calculation of discontinuity-distorted waveguide multiport junctions. Unlike common approaches based on three-plane mode-matching techniques, and modifications thereof, which calculate only the fundamental-mode scattering matrix, this algorithm computes the generalized modal scattering matrix of the junction. Therefore, the ...

─ In this paper, the design process of a novel Wilkinson power divider is presented. The proposed power divider features a simple structure with open stubs at each port. With slight changes of the dimensions of open stubs, designed power divider can suppress combinations of each two desired order harmonic simultaneously. From the measured results, 45 dB and 43 dB suppression for 3 and 5 harmoni...

A CMOS current divider using a two-variable second-order Taylor series approximation is proposed. The approximation divider is realized with a compact circuit. The simulation results indicate that the approximation divider is feasible for the characteristics of sufficient accuracy, small distortion, and high bandwidth.

In this paper a low-power current-mode RMS-to-DC converter is proposed. The proposed converter includes absolute value circuit, squarer/divider circuit, low-pass filter and square root circuit which employ CMOS transistors operating in weak inversion region. The RMS-to-DC converter has low power consumption (<1μW), low supply voltage (0.9V), wide input range (from 50 nA to 500 nA), low relative...

A filtering power divider/power combiner based on half mode substrate integrated waveguide technology for high power applications is proposed. This design includes one half mode substrate integrated waveguide cavity, one matched load, and four sections of quarter-wavelength transmission lines. The high isolation between output ports is obtained by combining the half mode substrate integrated wa...
