Abstract
A broad-band microwave frequency divider at "C" band (4-8 GHz) is designed using the regenerative frequency division concept. A simple method of obtaining a nonlinear model to characterise the actual active device is followed in this thesis. The various non-linear phenomena occuring in a GaAs FET are used in designing the divider.
The divider with an input matching circuit and an output matching circuit with a GaAs FET for the purpose of regeneration is implemented through the use of a computer-aided-design, which leads to an accurate and reliable design ready for MIC realisation. A
schematic design procedure for such a divider along with the measured and simulation results are presented.
