A new analog frequency divider configuration using a resistive field-e
ffect transistor (FET) mixer with a series feedback is proposed, With
this configuration, a large synchronization bandwidth of almost 30% ha
s been achieved using an original CAD technique, This bandwidth has be
en effectively measured on a Ku-band monolithic microwave integrated c
ircuit (MMIC) circuit together with an ultra-low power consumption, Mo
reover, the processed circuit using a standard 0.2-mu m PHEMT technolo
gy (Philips-PML) is very compact (1.5 mm(2)).
