Watt-level Quasi-optical Monolithic Frequency Multiplier Development

摘要: Sources of millimeter wavelength power for heterodyne receiver local oscillator applications conventionally have been expensive and short-lived klystrons, or Gunn devices (both which are limited to relatively low frequencies). An alternate approach is use efficient, broad band frequency multipliers in conjunction with more reliable, lower oscillators provide power. To obtain sufficient large arrays we employed quasi-optical fabricated monolithically. Multipliers under investigation include both varactor diodes negative resistance devices.
