  • Abstract
    A prerequisite for the realization of active frequency multipliers is the existence of a nonlinear device having sufficient efficiency for generation of the desired frequency multiple. This paper discusses and presents for the first time, in a quantitative manner, the nonlinearities of the PHEMT device which makes it a desirable candidate for frequency multiplier design
