A high performance frequency doubler for 80 to 120 GHz
Abstract
A frequency doubler for the 80- to 120-GHz output band is described. The device may be operated in either a fixed-tuned or a tuneable mode. When operated fixed-tuned, with a constant dc bias applied to the diode, the conversion loss for any output frequency between 80 and 120 GHz is 9.2 dB + or - 1.2 dB. When used so that tuning and bias are optimized at each operating frequency, the doubler exhibits conversion loss less than 7.5 dB for any frequency between 90 and 124 GHz
