    摘要: This frequency tripler system uses a cascade of integrated transistor circuit differential limiting amplifiers and tunable notch filters that can directly serve one or more outputs, such as a direct clock or local oscillator drive. With this topology, filtering is distributed between two or more stages of differential limiting amplifiers and tunable notch filters. This enables suppression of smaller fundamental tone by the differential limiting amplifiers along with the tunable notch filters and yields a strong third harmonic signal to directly drive high performance mixers and digital-to-analog converters.

    摘要: 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 ω0 occur in a frequency spectrum. An output stage of a multiplier is used in order to separate an output nω0 frequency and to suppress adjacent frequencies. In order to tune the output stage to the nω0 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 nω0 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 subharmonic image rejection and image enhancement mixer for mixing millimeter wavelength signals using a low conversion loss technique is described. A local oscillator frequency from an external source is fed to a first subharmonic mixer and through a phase shifter to a second subharmonic mixer. The phase shifter delays the local oscillator signal by (90.degree./n), where n is the multiple of the subharmonic mixers and is greater than 1. The first and second subharmonic mixers mix the local oscillator frequency with an input signal, which includes a desired frequency and an image frequency, to produce an intermediate frequency having a desired component and an image component at a select phase. A 0.degree.-90.degree. hybrid separates and terminates the image component of the intermediate frequency. The input port that feeds the input signal to each subharmonic mixer is dimensioned so as to provide a virtual image short termination or an image short termination to a self-generated image signal from each subharmonic mixer, thereby decreasing the conversion loss of the frequency mixer.

    摘要: A low phase noise frequency multiplier is disclosed for multiplying a sine wave obtained from a low phase noise crystal oscillator to higher frequencies than can be directly obtained from a crystal oscillator. The multiplication occurs without the ordinary increase in phase noise. The multiplier, when tripling the frequency contains a low phase noise frequency doubler. The double and triple frequency terms in the tripler are synthesized from two orthogonally related derivatives of the same wave, which are then multiplied in a double balanced mixer. The process reinforces the desired harmonics while not reinforcing the short term random phase noise, and produces a substantial improvement in the single sideband phase noise ratio over conventional frequency multipliers.
