  • Abstract
    A quantitative analysis, leading to the design and optimization of an active microwave frequency tripler is presented in this paper. Optimum matching networks are developed which produced a stable design with conversion gain up to 2.5 dB for specific biasing condition. At the last the coupled filter in desired third harmonic and its characterizations are presented.
