Abstract
In this paper, a frequency tripler has been designed with 100mW medium-power using P-HEMT. It is designed to obtain 7.2GHz frequency at the output that is an integer multiple of 2.4GHz input frequency by using nonlinear device that produces 3rd harmonic. The frequency tripler is designed by using load-pull simulation. To suppress the 2nd and fundamental, notch filter is used for the frequency tripler. The tripler is designed to obtain about 21dBm output power with 15dBm input, i.e., 6dB conversion gain and the suppression of 20dBc at fundamental, and 30dBc at the second harmonics.
