Abstract :
The operating principle of this frequency divider is based on a bifurcation phenomenon in non-autonomous chaos system. This has several advantages, extremely high operating frequency, low power consumption due to circuit simplicity, selectable divide ratio, and compatibility with MMIC process. The operating principle was also demonstrated using discrete devices
