Abstract

A new type of frequency multiplier which is called Heterostructure Barrier Charge Swing (HBCS) is proposed. It concerns a bunch of charge carriers swinging in a trough between heterojunction barriers. The behavior of the device is simulated and experimentally verified. Efficiencies of 27% for tripler and 14% for quintupler operation are predicted. A split-block mount with planar circuitry is presented to prove tripler operation capabilities from 102 GHz to 306 GHz. © 2008 IEEE.
