Abstract :
In this paper the potential interest of analog avalanche diode frequency dividers is demonstrated. Indeed experiments performed on avalanche diode frequency dividers with division ratios of 2,3 and 4 in the centimeterwave range have pointed out the possibility of wide instantaneous bandwidth and interesting RF conversion efficiencies.
