Abstract
An analog type of microwave frequency divider for dividing frequency by two. It comprises a common emitter transistor (8) and a feedback loop comprising a filter (9, 11) and a phase-adjusting inductor (12). The filter (9, 11) is tuned to half the input frequency (fe/2) and the transistor (8) operates in its non-linear region. The two inductors (11, 12) are made of microstrip. The divider also includes an output matching filter comprising a capacitance (14) and two inductors (15, 16) which are likewise both made of microstrip.
