Stable millimeter wave sources by avalanche diode frequency multiplication
Abstract
The main characteristics of avalanche frequency multipliers are presented. Special attention was paid to the diode structure for operation from 25 to 100 GHz. The design philosophy of multiplier circuit is given. Data on the noise behavior of such multipliers are also presented. Results obtained from a 7000 hours endurance test are given.
