Abstract :
In this work, novel design and optimization techniques for frequency triplers are presented. Accurate CAD techniques are utilized to develop bias, input power, input network, and output network configurations for optimum third harmonic response. As a result, a microwave frequency tripler is developed which exhibits an unprecedented level of conversion gain.
