摘要
A comprehensive analysis of an active balanced frequency doubler is described and proposed as a new concept: tuning the center frequency at which the doubler exhibits its highest performance to extend the usable bandwidth of the device. The concept is validated using a fabricated V-band pseudomorphic high electron-mobility transistor frequency doubler. For this device, a substantial improvement in the usable bandwidth (more than double) is achieved, demonstrating that the proposed concept is particularly suitable for the realization of high spectral purity and widely tunable V-band frequency sources.
