Abstract :
Techniques for the design of high efficiency bipolar microwave frequency multipliers having wideband performance, high conversion gain and good spectral properties are presented. Experimental conversion gains of up to 7 dB have been attained for narrow bandwidths (≈8%) and approximately 0 dB for wideband designs (40%) at C band. Corresponding fundamental and 3rd harmonic rejections are greater than 40 dBc. Extensive modeling and computer-oriented design have been employed utilizing harmonic balance
