A Frequency Multiplier-Converter Based on an Impact Avalanche Transit-Time Diode

摘要

The dependence of the output power and conversion coefficient for a multiplier-converter based on a controllable avalanche breakdown of the transit-time microwave diode on the adjustment of the external circuit and operating conditions, has been investigated. The possibility has been shown to multiply the frequency by 20 times with 18-dB loss of the output frequency in the short-wave part of the millimeter wave band.
