Microwave Frequency Division over Octave Bands.
Abstract
In many areas of electronic system design and engineering there exists a need for improved methods of processing microwave frequencies. A key component in future designs could be a broadband frequency divider. This report discusses a divide-by-two circuit utilizing regenerative modulation having an input frequency range of 500 MHz to 1 GHz and a similar circuit having an input frequency range of 250 MHz to 500 MHz that were developed. When the two circuits are cascaded the net result is a device that will accept any signal between 500 MHz and 1000 MHz (pulsed or cw) and provide an output equal to the input frequency divided by four. Outstanding features of the circuits are the ability to down-convert a band of frequencies while maintaining the same bandwidth percentage, the ability to maintain a fixed phase relationship with a given input frequency, and operation over wide frequency ranges.
