Abstract :
In this paper we present the design and analysis of a distributed regenerative frequency divider (DRFD) based on a distributed single-balanced mixer. Artificial transmission lines are incorporated in the distributed single balanced mixer to absorb the parasitic capacitances. The circuit is realized in a 0.18μm standard CMOS process. It shows a division by two for an input frequency of 40GHz, while consuming 10mW from a 1.8V supply.
