Abstract
We present the first demonstration of a broadband Heterostructure Barrier Varactor tripler, designed to cover a major part of the WR-8 waveguide band. The source comprises a waveguide housing, a six-barrier InP-HBV diode flip-chip mounted on an AlN microstrip filter circuit. The conversion loss 3-dB bandwidth was measured to 17 % at a center frequency of 112 GHz. The maximum output power was more than 15 mW for an input power of 300 mW. There are no mechanical tuners or DC-bias, which simplifies assembly and allows for ultra-compact design‥
