“…Avalanche diode high order multiplier has achieved excellent performance from 30 GHz to 140 GHz and it has been successfully used in millimeter wave radar tansceiver and measurement equipments [16][17][18]. These initial high order frequency multiplier are all built with waveguide cavity structure similar to avalanche oscillator [19][20][21][22]. Then the high order frequency multiplier with microstrip-waveguide circuit structure is developed, which has simpler circuit structure [23].…”

Abstract-A research of W band microstrip integrated high order frequency multiplier based on avalanche diode is presented. The associated nonlinear model of avalanche diode driven by external RF signals for high order frequency multiplication is presented and analyzed according to the physical property of avalanche diode. Subsequently the circuit of microstrip integrated high order multiplier is analyzed. In experiment, maximum output power of 6.5 mW with the efficiency of about 0.62% is obtained at output frequency of 94.5 GHz with 15th multiplication order. The phase noise of output 94.5 GHz signal is about −90.83 dBc/Hz and −95.67 dBc/Hz at 10 KHz and 100 KHz offset.

“…Taking advantage of the fierce inductive nonlinearity in avalanche effects, avalanche diode could generate high order harmonics up to short millimeter wave band with effective harmonic power in a single stage [16], which implies that avalanche diode could translate high stable microwave reference source into millimeter wave band without additional amplification [17,18]. Good performance of the avalanche diode high order multiplier have been achieved in millimeter wave band [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24].…”

Abstract-A research of millimeter wave high order frequency multiplier based on the fierce inductive nonlinearity of avalanche diode is presented. The operation of high order frequency multiplication is introduced, and the high order harmonics generation character under external RF field modulation is analyzed. The characteristic of multiplier circuit is also discussed. Maximum output power of 6 mW and minimum conversion loss of 17 dB are obtained at output frequencies of 94 GHz and 96 GHz with 15th multiplication order. The phase noise of output 94 GHz signal is about −90 dBc/Hz and −94.33 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz and 100 kHz offset.

The high degree nonlinearity properties of avalanche diode render itself suitable for high order frequency multiplication in a single stage. This paper first analyzes the mechanism of multiplication mode, and introduces the principle of high order frequency multiplier. In experiment, the multiplier has achieved maximum 7 dBm output power and 19 dB conversion loss at the output frequency of 94.5 GHz with 15th multiplication order.
