Abstract :
A design procedure for the optimum design of microwave active frequency doubler is presented. The proposed methodology is based on a nonlinear mixed analysis/optimisation algorithm giving simultaneous solution and first-step optimization of the active multiplier. Design charts relying on repeated analysis/optimizations allow the designer to trade-off between conversion gain, output power and available input power.<>
