Abstract
Monolithic integrated microwave 1/2 and 1/8 frequency dividers were developed and fabricated in standard 2-μm bipolar technology. The circuits, which operate from about 2 GHz to 7.3 GHz, are based on the principle of regenerative frequency division. Assuming that the same technology is used, this principle makes it possible to double the upper frequency limit of the most popular static master-slave D-flip-flop dividers. Power consumption can be considerably reduced
