Abstract:A modified divide-by-2 regenerative frequency divider (RFD) is presented in this paper. The effects of modified active loads on the bandwidth of RFD are demonstrated and analyzed in detail by introducing the equivalent circuit using [Formula: see text] model. Using the transimpedance amplifier structure with resistive shunt–shunt feedback and shunt-peaked inductor as the active loads of the generative frequency divider, the loop bandwidth and the loop gain can be increased at higher frequencies to extend the b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
