The effects of modified active loads on the bandwidth of RFD are demonstrated and analyzed in detail by introducing the equivalent circuit using [Formula: see text] model. Using the transimpedance amplifier structure with resistive shunt\u2013shunt feedback and shunt-peaked inductor as the active loads of the generative frequency divider, the loop bandwidth and the loop gain can be increased at higher frequencies to extend the bandwidth. Based on the theoretical analysis and design methodology, an RFD with improved active loads is designed and fabricated in 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor technology with a total chip area of 0.83[Formula: see text]mm[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]0.75[Formula: see text]mm.
