Abstract :
Microwave multipliers are notoriously unstable with input power, bias and load variations. In this paper, we predict the onset of a chaotic type of instability using the Hopf bifurcation concept as the input power level is increased. The measurement and the predicted theoretical results are in agreement to within 1.5 dB.<>
