  • Abstract
    A divide-by-3 frequency divider for inphase and quadrature (I/Q) LO signal generation in a multi-band frequency synthesizer is presented. Using divisor numbers other than powers of 2 (2n) for quadrature signal generation, reduces the required frequency range of the VCO in multi-band frequency synthesizers. The divide-by-3 circuit is designed in a 0.18 um CMOS technology.
