Summary :

Nonlinear operation of an analog frequency divider using a GaAs dual-gate FET has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the log-log plot for basic input/output characteristics of the divider shows straight lines in the second, third, and fourth regions adjacent to the first narrow threshold region in the increasing order of input power magnitude. It is suggested from theoretical consideration that universality of the exponent K appearing in the PoutPinK relation holds at least approximately. The value of K in the second region is found to be about 3.0 theoretically and experimentally and is in agreement with the value reported in an earlier paper. The strict but obvious universality of K holds in the third and fourth region with K=1 and 0, respectively.
