Abstract :
We present the design and measurements of a Heterostructure Barrier Varactor based frequency tripler for 280 GHz. The tripler is fabricated as a monolithic circuit on an InP substrate, including the input and output waveguide probes. Several circuit versions for input power levels between 100 mW and 1W have been designed.
