Abstract
In this paper, a reflector type frequency doubler for local oscillator at 24GHz is designed and fabricated with ne71300-N MESFET. Optimum source and load impedances are decided through a multiharmonic load pull simulation technique. A conversion gain can be improved using the reflector and fundamental and third harmonics are well suppressed with open stub of $\lambda$/4 length Measured results show output power at 0dBm of input power is -3.776dBm, conversion gain 0.736dB, harmonic suppression 41.064dBc, respectively.
