Abstract
Regenerative frequency halvers using double-balanced mixers are analyzed in terms of modified Bessel functions. Particular attention is given to a regenerative divide using a zero-memory double-balanced Schottky diode mixer. Closed-form solutions predict the threshold of turn on, the steady-state input-output amplitude relationship, and the operational bandwidth. Experimental results are also presented.<>
