Zusammenfassung
This letter presents a single chip \$times\$12 frequency multiplier
MMIC for the W-band that is realized in a 100 nm metamorphic HEMT
technology. To obtain the \$times\$12 multiplication factor a multiplier
chain of a doubler, a tripler and a doubler has been cascaded. The
circuit has a 3 dB bandwidth of 15 GHz from 85 to 100 GHz. At 94
GHz, the multiplier achieves a saturated output power of more than
1 dBm and a conversion gain of 0 dB. The suppression of unwanted
harmonics is better than 30 dBc at 94 GHz and better than 24 dBc
within the entire bandwidth.
