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.

A phase lock loop, of course.

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.

I actually have such a device. 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.

Cool thanks, I tried to find the appnote with google but no luck
