Abstract

In this paper we presents a novel HBT frequency doubler design for millimeter-wave application. A HBT frequency doubler theory is described which leads to accurate design equations for optimal performance. The developed theory shows that an optimal HBT frequency doubler can be achieved using a novel second harmonic feedback network. Preliminary measurements on a frequency doubler implemented in a high-speed InP DHBT technology demonstrates an increase in the maximum output power from -14 dBm to -11.5 dBm at an input frequency of 31.4 GHz due to the presence of the second harmonic feedback network.
