Abstract
A low power 24 GHz signal generator consisting of a 12 GHz VCO and a frequency doubler in GaAs HBT technology is presented. Overall power consumption is 43 mW at 0 dBm output power, tuning range is 800 MHz for 3 V tuning voltage. The doubler by itself provides 3 dB gain at 13 mW power consumption. Its design is based on harmonic termination of an HBT producing the desired harmonic frequency
