Design of Inverse Class E 2.9 GHz/5.8 GHz Frequency Multiplier

Abstract

In this paper, an inverse class E frequency multiplier has been designed to generate 5.8 GHz wireless LAN signal by multiplying 2.9 GHz input. The inverse class E frequency multiplier is operating with low inductance value and low peak drain voltage than the class E frequency multiplier. Measurement shows the output power of 21 dBm, the mutiplier gain of 6 dB, and the PAE(Power Added Efficiency) of 35 % with 15 dBm input power.
