CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENT FOR FREQUENCY DIVISION

摘要

A wide-band n-divider having a first and a second group of n transistors each, whose emitters in a first cyclic sequence are alternately connected to the collectors of two transistors forming an input differential pair. The base electrode of any arbitrary transistor of said first cyclic sequence is always connected to the collector of the (n-1)th transistor after said arbitrary transistor in said first sequence. The n-divider furthermore comprises a third and a fourth group of n transistors each, whose emitters are alternately connected to the collectors of two transistors which constitute an input differential pair in a second cyclic sequence, and whose collectors in the second sequence are each time connected to the collector of the next transistor in the first sequence. The base electrode of any arbitrary transistor of said second cyclic sequence is always connected to the collector of the nth transistor after said arbitrary transistor in that sequence.
