Submitted for general discussion: I have a need to divide a low-noise 80-MHz
clock by two, twice, to obtain 40 MHz and 20 MHz outputs, and my current
thinking is that the quietest way to do this is with a pair of cascaded
regenerative dividers. Does anyone have any 'favorite' papers or
application notes on regenerative divider design/construction?
In particular, what considerations go into determining the bandwidth of the
post-mixer filter, and how important is the phase-shift network often seen
in the feedback path? My overriding concern here is phase-noise
performance.
