What range do you need for the 3 gHz? 2 to 4 gHz ? That shouldn't be hard to cover (20 to 40 MHz oscillator), unless the frequency is going to change very quickly.

From: Ancient_Hacker on 17 Aug 2006 18:39 how about a 4-bit synchronous counter (75AHC161?), when it overflows, it sets a D flip flop which enables a 74AHC4017 to count up to 9, then have it's 9 output reset the FF? The D flip flp's not-Q output gates the signal.

It is a :100 prescaler using the 74LS390 after a U664 1.2GHz :64 counter. Apparently it was based on a Siemens appnote. Basically there are two 5/4 counters cascaded. An LS02 is used next to the LS390. The input at pin 12 is also fed via an inverter and norred with pin 9. The output goes into pin 4. Pin 4 is inverted and norred with pin 7. This nor output is your :100 signal. Cheers. Joop
