Abstract :
The performances of a nonlinear resistance and a nonlinear capacitance in a broadband harmonic generator circuit are analyzed. The nonlinear capacitance is shown to have a considerably higher efficiency. Some results of harmonic and subharmonic generation experiments with a graded-junction silicon nonlinear capacitance diode are given.
