Abstract
The authors present results for a tripler to 200 GHz using a single barrier varactor (SBV). The performance of the tripler, over an output frequency range from 186 to 207 GHz, has been measured in a crossed waveguide mount. The theoretical performance of the device and the tripler mount have been calculated using large signal analysis. An overall efficiency of 2% was achieved with efficiency at the device of above 5%. A comparison of theoretical and measured results and a discussion of various losses in the mount and the varactor are also presented
