Abstract :
Analysis of MESFET traveling wave multipliers (TWM) has been presented. Moreover, a systematic approach to its design has been presented. The analysis has revealed that the transmission-line attenuation and gate phase factor are the critical factors in the design of the TWM. In order to confirm these approaches two doublers were designed from 7 to 17 GHz, and the results are presented.
