Abstract

This paper describes the design and the simulation of a frequency doubler for millimeter-wave applications using distributed amplifier technology. The designed frequency multiplier has 10% bandwidth at 58GHz output. This paper investigates nonlinear analysis of pHEMT frequency multipliers utilizing AM-AM and AM-PM distortion characteristics of frequency doubler. The conversion loss is 2.1dB and harmonic suppression is larger than 18.6dBc with 5dBm input power
