  • Abstract
    A 14 GHz static frequency divider has been fabricated using an enhancement/depletion 0.3 mu m recessed-gate AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well FET process. The divider has a power dissipation of 35 mW at a supply voltage of 1.80 V. The minimum input power for dividing operation is 8.3 dBm at a maximum input frequency of 14.2 GHz, which is lowered to -6.2 dBm, when operating at 12.0 GHz.
