Abstract:An 85 to 110 GHz high efficiency, high output power frequency doubler is presented in this letter. The traveling-wave topology is used to generate even harmonics and suppress odd harmonics effectively. The output fundamental and 4th harmonic reflectors are applied to enhance the efficiency, conversion gain and fundamental rejection. The measured results show a peak conversion gain of 3.2 dB and peak efficiency of 11.2% with a saturated output power of 9 dBm at 100 GHz. The doubler exhibits higher than 30 dB fu… Show more

A K‐band harmonic suppression enhanced sextupler with a chip dimension of 3 × 1 mm2 using the 0.13 μm GaAs MHEMT process is presented. The configuration of the sextupler consists of two transistors and two quasi‐lumped bandpass filters. From the measured results, the conversion loss of the sextupler is 3‐7 dB from the frequency range of 20.6‐26.3 GHz without any additional amplifier. The fourth harmonic, fifth harmonic, seventh harmonic, eighth harmonic, and ninth harmonic show rejection over 28‐60, 34‐43, 12‐41, 25‐65, and 20‐49 dBc, respectively.

An E-band high speed power detector MMIC using pHEMT technology has been designed, manufactured and experimentally characterized. By employing a 4-way quadrature structure for phase cancellation, the first, second and third harmonics can be suppressed and the ripple at the output is minimized. Compared to conventional topology with a low pass filter, a short response time and high speed performance of demodulation can be reached. Simulated results indicate that the detector is capable of demodulating an on-off keying signal at a data rate up to 5 Gbps. The fabricated chip occupies 1 × 1.5 mm2 and the on-wafer measurement shows a return loss of less than –15 dB, responsivity better than 700 mV/mW and dynamic range of more than 25 dB over 70 to 90 GHz.
