An improvement of a quasi-optical frequency doubler based on crossed dipoles is proposed. The directivity of the dipole antenna is increased by adding parasitic elements similar to the Yagi-Uda approach. Layout and promising measured results of a structure with one reflector are presented and further steps for possible improvements suggested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
