Abstract :
HEMT frequency doublers inherently outperform FET frequency doublers due to the difference in their physical characteristics. We have determined that the best doubler performance can be obtained with pseudomorphic InP HEMTs with the gate biased for a maximal derivative of the transconductance. This optimal operating condition has been applied during the design of small-band and broadband 38 GHz coplanar waveguide MMIC frequency doublers, of which the excellent measurement results are presented.
