Abstract
The authors present a simple theory which makes it possible to calculate the frequency ranges of stable operation for a regenerative divider employing a double balanced mixer in large-signal operation. The validity of the derived formulas is tested by various network simulations. It is found that, in spite of the relatively simple assumptions for the description of the large-signal behaviour, the boundaries of the stable ranges are described with sufficient accuracy by the derived analytical relations
