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.
