A supercavitating vehicle has a speed of more than 300 km/h in water. A numerical analysis of the flow around a supercavitating vehicle must deal with a multiphase flow consisting of the water, vapor and exhaust gas because the vehicle is powered by roket propulsion. The effect of the exhaust gas on the vehicle is an important part in the study of the performance of the supercavitating vehicle. In the present study, the effect of the exhaust gas on the drag of vehicle was investigated by conducting numerical analysis. When there is no exhaust gas, drag of vehicle is affected by re-entrant. In the case with rocket propulsion, the exhaust gas reduces the influence of re-entrant. The exhaust gas also creates Mach disk and it changes drag profile.

A novel frequency multiplier using composite right/left-handed transmission line is proposed. The left-handed transmission line in the proposed frequency multiplier suppresses the fundamental component($f_0$), while the composite right/left-handed ${\lambda}/4$ open stub diminishes unwanted harmonics. Due to the combination of the left-handed transmission line and composite right/left-handed ${\lambda}/4$ open stub, the only desirable multiplied frequency component such as 3 $f_0$ and 4 $f_0$ are obtained at the output port excellently. For the example of the proposed design, frequency multipliers are designed at 1 GHz of $f_0$ and measured. The measured output power of 3 $f_0$ and 4 $f_0$ is -5.67 dBm and -6.43 dBm, respectively, when the fundamental input power was 0 dBm.

In this paper, a ${\times}49$ frequency multiplier based on a ring oscillator and a multi-push multiplier is presented. The proposed ${\times}49$ frequency multiplier consists of two ${\times}7$ frequency multipliers and these multiplier is connected by injection-locking technique. Each ${\times}7$ frequency multiplier consists of a ring oscillator with 14-phase output signal and 7-push frequency multiplier requiring 14-phase input. The proposed ${\times}49$ frequency multiplier provides 2.78~2.83 GHz output signal with 56.7~57.7 MHz input signal. This operation frequency is defined that the output power difference between the carrier and the spur is above 10 dB. The proposed chip consumes 13.93 mW.

This paper presents some important research result comparisons for multi function RF modules which use amplifier or frequency multiplier. By using multiplier, multi function module can be realized amply in comparison to multi band module which has separate block for each frequency band. Some com paring analysis among the switching method between separate amplifier and multiplier, the structure using frequency selective reflector, and the module using the defected ground structure. The multi function module which operates as amplifier or multiplier with input frequency is developed and input frequency suppression and output harmonics suppression can be improve d by using defected ground structure.

In this paper, the optimal condition for efficient active frequency multipliers is analyzed. This analysis is based on the effects from transistor nonlinear coefficients, harmonic impedances, and output parasitic components. From the analysis, normalized harmonic power is estimated with the clipping condition of a commercial transistor, and the condition for high conversion efficiency is suggested. From the analysis, a class-F frequency tripler was implemented for the output at 2.475 GHz, showing the maximum efficiency of 22.9 % and the maximum conversion gain of 9.5 dB.

A novel design of frequency multiplier using a feedforward technique and a defected ground structure(DGS) is proposed. The feedforward loop in the proposed frequency multiplier suppresses the fundamental component $(f_0)$, the dumb-bell or spiral shaped DGS diminish unwanted harmonics such as second, third and fourth. Due to the combination of the feedforward structure and the DGS, only the multiplied frequency component$(2f_0,\;3f_0,\;4f_0)$ appears at the output port and the other unwanted components are suppressed excellently. The frequency multiplier is designed at 1 GHz $(f_0)$, by the proposed technique and measured. The measured output power of $2f_0,\;3f_0$ and $4f_0$ is -2.59 dBm, -5.36dBm and -4.57dBm, respectively, when the input power is 0dBm.

The efficiency of frequency multiplier using nonlinear elements varies with the characteristics of the elements and also varies with the order of multiplication. And, if the elements is resistive, the efficiency varies with reverse-to-forward resistance value. Microwave energy which was frequency doubled by a nonlinear resistive element was obtained, and the theoretical efficiency of nonlinear reactive and resistive multiplier were compared with the efficiency taken by experiments. It was found that efficiency of frequency multiplier using the nonlinear resistive elements was increased, without depending on frequency, with the reverse-to-forward resistance value.

This paper presents the design of a high efficiency frequency multiplier with load-pull simulation and analyses the nonlinear distortion of the frequency multiplier. The frequency multiplier shows serious distortion of multiplying signal bandwidth because of nonlinearity when modulated signal is applied, so a digital predistortion with look up table (LUT) is applied to compensate for the distortion of the frequency multiplier. The frequency multiplier is designed to produce 5.8GHz output by doubling the input frequency to be operating at IEEE 802.11a standard wireless LAN. The output spectrum shows 12dB ACPR improvement both at +11MHz, +20MHz offset from center frequency after linearization.
