  • Abstract
    A 225 GHz frequency tripler using commercially available GaAs Schottky barrier diodes is proposed in this paper. The device model has been extracted from millimeter-wave small-signal S-parameter measurements. The tripler exhibits that the highest simulated efficiency is 19.5% at 228 GHz and the typical efficiency is 11.9% from 210GHz to 240 GHz.
