Frequency multiplier 0.1/12 GHz with MOS varactors
Abstract
Development of a 0.1/12-GHz frequency multiplier with MOS-varactors is summarized. Design data for a quartz-stabilized injection locking source for a Gunn-oscillator were obtained. The MOS-varactor technology was improved and reliability tests were carried out. Three types of MOS-varactors were developed and tested in different multiplier circuits. Results led to the system design of a three stage 0(1/12)-GHz multiplier with an output power of 5 mW at 12 GHz and a minimum efficiency of 2.4.
