An odd order MESFET frequency multiplier which outputs a desired odd harmonic of a fundamental tone. The frequency multiplier (100) includes a multiplier stage with a MESFET (16) having a harmonic response dependent upon a plurality of bias conditions (24, 26) and the input power level (28). The MESFET (16) includes a drain port (32) coupled to an output matching network (30) sized and configured for a predetermined load (27) at a selected output frequency. The output matching network (30) includes RF shorts (40, 42) for reflecting energy to the MESFET (16) from a plurality of undesired even harmonics. Coupled to the output matching circuit (30) is a bandpass filter (36) sized and configured for the predetermined load (27). The bandpass filter (36) includes RF shorts for reflecting energy to the MESFET (16) from a plurality of undesired odd harmonics, wherein the reflected energy from the undesired even harmonics and the undesired odd harmonics are combined at the MESFET (16) to provide additional energy at the desired odd harmonic.

The invention can be used for telecommunications, measuring and other devices in order to produce stable superhigh frequency signals. An IMPATT diode 4 operating in the cascade break-down mode and having a sharp nonlinearity transforms an input signal in such a way that ultraharmonics which multiple in respect to the frequency of an input signal ω 0 occur in a frequency spectrum. An output stage of a multiplier is used in order to separate an output nω 0 frequency and to suppress adjacent frequencies. In order to tune the output stage to the nω 0 frequency, a tuning plug 8 and short-circuiting pistons 13 are used. The tuning plug 8 is arranged above an upper electrod of the IMPATT diode 4 (inside the axis of the diode). The tuning plugs 13 make it possible to tune resonance capacitance to the nω 0 frequency and remove energy towards the output part of a T-bend in which a wave guide pass-band filter 15 is disposed. Said filter 15 is embodied in the form of sections of a waveguide 14 on whose E-plane a thin metallic diaphragm is arranged, said diaphragm being provided with windows 16 disposed along the axis of the waveguide. The inventive multiplier ensures high converting efficiency.

摘要:
A microwave frequency multiplier employs a first self-biasing unidirectional conductive means (112) such as self-biasing diode means and a second self-biasing unidirectional conductive means (114) such as self-biasing diode means coupled in anti-parallel relationship across a signal input, each of the self-biasing diode means including a diode and a biasing elements. The first self-biasing diode means and second self-biasing diode means cause a bias to occur at internal nodes which increase with increased input power for a broad range of input power levels. The presence of internal biasing results in waveform clipping at higher signal levels. Relative to prior art, the conversion loss will remain optimum up to high input power over an entire high-power input range. The self-biasing diode means in one embodiment comprises a diode coupled in series with a parallel combination of a resistive element (R1) and a capacitive element (C1), the resistive element for developing a voltage drop across the capacitive element suitable to bias the diode, and the capacitive element being of sufficient capacitance to maintain a voltage bias level across the resistive element. The time constant determined by the values of the resistive and capacitive elements should be on the same order of magnitude as the period of the input signal. Additional external bias may be employed in alternative embodiments. In addition, further diodes (D3, D4) may be added to the self-biasing diode means to provide further breakdown protection.

La présente invention concerne un dispositif hyperfréquence à large bande permettant de générer les harmoniques d'ordre pair d'un signal hyperfréquence incident. La ligne d'entrée est en mode dissymétrique, par example du type coplanaire. Les deux sorties d'un diviseur équiphase (10) sont respectivement appliquées à l'entrée d'un circuit (111, respectivement 112) à éléments semi-conducteurs non linéaires dont le signal de sortie est constitué des harmoniques d'ordre pair du signal incident. Les deux signaux de sortie sont combinées dans un circuit (12) dont la sortie est en mode de propagation dissymétrique, et qui est suivie d'un circuit de filtrage (13) de l'harmonique 2n. Application aux systèmes hyperfréquence.
