Abstract :
We designed and fabricated a fix-tuned balanced frequency tripler working in the 260-340 GHz band to be the first stage of a times3times3times3 multiplier chain to 2.7 THz. The design of a dual-chip version of this multiplier featuring an input splitter/output combiner as part of the input/output matching networks of both chips - with no degradation of the expected bandwidth and efficiency- will be presented.
