Title :
Broadband Frequency Dividers Using Microwave Varactors
Abstract :
A novel configuration using GaAs varactors in a balanced circuit incorporating both coplanar waveguide and microstrip elements has permitted the construction of frequency dividers which have near-octave divide-by-two bandwidth and excellent response to pulsed r.f. inputs. The design and performance of such a frequency divider for inputs in the 4 to 8 GHz range is discussed.
