SOME RESULTS FOR HIGHER-ORDER VARACTOR FREQUENCY MULTIPLIERS

Abstract

Analyses and numerical results for several frequency multipliers utilizing lossy abrupt junction varactors are presented. The theory is based on a series model of the varactor a constant resistance in series with a nonlinear elastance. This model proves to be a good characterization of practical varactors and permits us to perform closed form solutions for multipliers of any order. The problem is a nonlinear one and, consequently, it is not possible to make one solution which is applicable to all multipliers; rather, we have to solve each multiplier separately by lengthy iterative numerical calculations. Therefore, only a limited number of the infinity of possibilities are treated.
