Abstract
We report the performance of a 30 GHz to 10 GHz regenerative frequency divider. The proposed divider design incorporates the conventional Miller regenerative frequency divider (divide-by-2) with an additional regenerative path. We achieve output referred phase noise of L(10 Hz) = -130 dBc/Hz and frequency stability of less than 1×10-15 at a 1-second averaging time for the proposed divider. We further improve the flicker phase noise performance of this divider by implementing a parallel amplifier configuration and achieve an output referred phase noise of L(10 Hz) = -138 dBc/Hz and L(10 kHz) = -162 dBc/Hz.Proceedings Title
