Popis: Analog frequency dividers using Field Effect Transistors have been investigated with respect to various device structures (MESFET, HEMT and PHEMT). It was found that the transconductance parameter value (Idss/Vt2) essentially governs the capability of achieving a large conversion gain. Also, there was no added phase noise under normal operating conditions. Otherwise it mostly depends on the device low frequency noise and nonlinearity. Finally some guidelines for selecting the most appropriate device structures are outlined.
