Heteroparametric frequency dividers

The principle of a new electronic-circuit heteroparametric frequency divider with controlled nonlinear capacitive or inductive elements is presented, and its properties are analysed by the original method of equivalent circuits with dependent parameters. The results of the analysis correspond well with the experimental investigation. The described method is suitable, in its simplicity and physical interpretation, principally for application in engineering; it makes the evaluation of the transfer properties of either simple or more complicated heteroparametric nonlinear circuits possible.
