Abstract

To extend the frequency range of existing short-range radar modules for industrial applications, millimeter-wave frequency multipliers based on cost-effective PCB technology are required. This paper describes a zero-bias D-band frequency doubler and Y-band frequency tripler based on pure PTFE material and the commercially available DBES105a diode from United Monolithic Semiconductors (UMS). At an input drive level range of 16 dBm to 18 dBm the multipliers deliver output power levels POUT ∈ [5, -5] dBm from 100 GHz to 160 GHz and POUT ∈ [-11, -20] dBm from 180 GHz to 230 GHz. © 2013 IEEE.
