Abstract :
A new concept for a millimeter (mm)-wave frequency divider is presented, as well as first results on its use in the 30-GHz range and in the 80-GHz range. The mm-wave frequency divider had a division ratio that was sufficiently high so that digital dividers could be used. The mm-wave divider was based on a combination of analog and digital components, and may easily be realized by using monolithically integrated circuits. The output spectra of the mm-wave frequency divider for input frequencies of 29.92, 30.4, and 30.88 GHz and for input frequencies of 76.6, 77.8, and 79 GHz are shown.<>
