Low-Noise Regenerative Divider

Leading designers now require a module which divides both the microwave source frequency and its noise while preserving the sinusoidal form of the original source.

The LNRD is a discrete divide-by-two frequency divider. It incorporates a low-noise gain stage and has the unique property of dividing both the input frequency and noise by two. The LNRD regenerates its own signal using a passive mixer and a low-noise silicon amplifier rather than - as in other dividers - noisy active switching transistors. Close-to-the-carrier phase noise is reduced by close to the 6dB theoretical limit.

Notes

• Poseidon Scientific Instruments has a continuous development policy and features are subject to change without notice.
• Phase and amplitude noise measurements are based on techniques specified in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Technical Note 1337.
• Supplemental characteristics are supplied to provide further useful information and should be treated as “typical” performance. Actual performance may vary depending on operating environment and other factors.
