Abstract :
A 31.33 to 94 GHz millimeter wave frequency tripler is described which employs large numbers of high cutoff frequency Schottky barrier diodes in compact series/parallel arrays. The high breakdown voltage, distributed nature of the diode array and all of the diodes being thermally in parallel result in high power handling capability.<>
