Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to a local oscillator frequency divider for a receiver or transmitter. In this regard a frequency divider has a first frequency input coupled to a first oscillator frequency output, a second frequency input coupled to a complementary second oscillator frequency output, a first in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) divided frequency output, and a complementary second I/Q divided frequency output. The frequency divider further has a first alternating current (AC) coupling capacitor between the first frequency input and the first oscillator frequency output and a second AC coupling capacitor between the second frequency input and the second oscillator frequency output.
