FREQUENCY MULTIPLIER.
Abstract
An analysis of the efficiency of varactor multi pliers is discussed and related to the design of multimeter doublers. Varactor triplers and quad ruplers, and the use of varistors, are considered and found to be less efficient than varactor dou blers. The optimum drive level is discussed and is found to be a compromise between efficiency and frequency stability. An ea2erimental 50 to 100 gc doubler was designed and constructed. No 100-gc output power was observed in a first test of the device. Experimental results on X to K-band doublers are presented and efficiencies of -10 db were measured. (Author)
