A frequency divider based on injection-locked tunable ring oscillator is designed on 0.13-μm standard CMOS. The proposed design can achieve divide-by-4 in the frequency range of 58.75-66.3 GHz. The divider dissipates 49.5 to 54.5 mW power from a 1.5-V voltage supply. Key-Words: High-speed frequency dividers, Injection-locked tunable ring oscillator, Division range

This paper presents a novel quad-band power divider with equal power division ratio. The proposed power divider is realized using two cascaded sections of dual-band transformers based on coupled microstrip lines. Limitations of using dual-band quarterwavelength transformers based on coupled lines are studied through parametric analysis to obtain useful design guidelines related to available fab...

The behavior of two frequency divider circuits using negative differential resistance (NDR) circuit is studied. This NDR circuit is made of three resistors (R) and two bipolar-junction-transistor (BJT) devices. It can show the NDR characteristic in its current-voltage curve by suitably designing the resistances. We discuss a dynamic frequency divider, which is made of a R-BJT-NDR circuit, an in...

A 1 V low voltage delta-sigma fractional-N frequency divider for multi-band (780/868/915 MHz and 2.4 GHz) WSN frequency synthesizers is presented. The frequency divider consists of a dual-modulus prescaler, a pulse-swallow counter and a delta-sigma modulator. The high-speed and low-voltage phase-switching dualmodulus prescaler is used in the frequency divider. Low threshold voltage transistors ...

This paper proposes a divider structure that combines a novel self-timed ring structure and a carry-propagation-free division algorithm. The self-timed ring structure enables the divider to compute at a speed comparable to that of previously designed dividers with less silicon area. By exploiting the carry-propagation-free division algorithm, we can achieve even better performance. We designed ...

In this letter, a half-mode waveguide based on gap (GW) technology for rapid prototyping is explored. Two devices have been designed and measured demonstration purposes: power divider curved waveguide. Both are constructed from two noncontacting metal pieces. also follow the same design process. bottom piece, horizontally polarized groove GW (GGW) housed. The height of about half, which require...

An excitation technology of TE40 mode for substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) and its application in designing a slot antenna array is proposed. In order to excite the TE40 mode, a microstrip power divider and two coupling slots driven by microstrip lines in the longitudinal direction of SIW are designed to convert the electromagnetic field pattern from slot lines to SIW. The advantages of the...
