A 3.5 watt high efficiency frequency quadrupler for X-band applications
Abstract
The design and performance of a high-power microwave integrated circuit frequency quadrupler are described. The quadrupler uses two high-power beam-leaded step recovery diodes, is designed in integrated circuit form using aluminum microstrip, and has a peak output power of above 3.5 W at 9.5 GHz and a 6% 1 dB bandwidth. The performance is achieved with an input power of 12 W peak at S-band and at 10% duty cycle. The input circuit of this multiplier is a Tchebyshev low-pass matching filter.
