Abstract :
An active single-ended 77 GHz frequency tripler MMIC based on a 130 nm In0.8GaP/In0.4AlAs/In0.35GaAs metamorphic high electron mobility transistors (MHEMTs) technology has been developed. The frequency tripler MMIC demonstrates a maximum conversion gain of 1 dB for an input power of 0 dBm with 77 GHz output buffer amplifier and 3 dB output power bandwidth of 10 GHz.
