Abstract
A non-integer divider for dividing the frequency of a signal is disclosed. A non-integer divider includes a first divider that divides the frequency of a first signal. A mixer is coupled to receive the first signal, and a second signal having a frequency equivalent to that output by the first divider. The mixer outputs a third signal having a frequency based on respective frequencies of the first and second signal. A second divider receives and frequency divides the third signal to produce a fourth signal. A ratio of the frequency of the first signal to the fourth signal is a non-integer value.
