Distributed Nonlinear Devices for Millimeter-Wave and Picosecond Pulse Generation

Abstract

The program goal was to demonstrate monolithic Schottky diode GaAs circuits for efficient generation of harmonics of microwave drive signals and for efficient generation of picosecond impulses. The method is nonlinear wave propagation on monolithic GaAs nonlinear transmission lines (NLTLs). Through generation of shock waves NLTLs, we had previously demonstrated generation of picosecond step-functions Modified version of the NLTL can be used for picosecond pulse generation and frequency multiplication.
