Planar HBV triplers and quintuplers for millimetre wavelengths

Paper i proceeding, 2003

In this paper, various fixed tuned tripler and quintupler designs are presented. Measurement of a microstrip tripler, using antipodal finline for transition to waveguide, shows a good result with a output power of -0.8 dBm at 128 GHz compared to simulation. Furthermore, a quintupler realised with coplanar-waveguide have been simulated to provide a conversion efficiency of 6.7% at 100 GHz.
