W-band inductive high order frequency multiplier based on silicon avalanche diode

摘要

An investigation of millimeter wave high order frequency multiplier based on the inductive nonlinearity of avalanche diode is presented. The operation of high order frequency multiplication is introduced and the high order harmonics generation character under external RF field modulation is analyzed. In experiment, the output power of 6.2mW and 9.55mW are obtained at output frequency of 94.05GHz and 100.32GHz with 15^th and 16^th multiplication order. The phase noise character is also according to the phase noise formula of frequency multiplier.
