Abstract
This paper reports on performance of a UHF MMIC regenerative divider designed and fabricated at the Northrop Grumman Advanced Technology Labs. It uses Northrop Grumman Corporations standard GaAs HBT low phase noise process in order to achieve superior phase noise performance. Use of the MMIC divider results in a 50:1 area reduction in circuit size, compared to dividers employing discrete, surface mount components.
