Abstract :
A comprehensive varactor multiplier design is presented. Particular care has been taken to the design of the interstage networks from the standpoint of stability and harmonic rejection. Two frequency doubler chains have been built according to this design. Notable in a X8-multiplier (Three cascaded doublers), an efficiency of > 15% over a 4% bandwidth has been obtained with an input power of 10 W and at an output frequency of 7.5 GHz.
