ABSTRACT:
A frequency divider includes a power divider which receives an input signal and divides the input signal into first and second signals. A frequency doubler receives the first signal and provides a third signal having a frequency which is twice the frequency of the first signal. A hybrid junction sums the second and third signals and provides a fourth signal which corresponds to the sum of the second and third signals and which has a low frequency modulation component which is substantially equal to one-half the frequency of the input signal, as well as a high frequency carrier component. An envelope detector and a band-pass filter, connected in series, receive the fourth signal and provide an output signal corresponding to the low frequency component of the fourth signal, which low frequency component is substantially equal to one-half the frequency of the input signal.
