A Quasi-balanced Frequency Doubler Using Alternate Power Dividing and Combining Techniques

The design and analysis of a novel balanced-like high conversion gain frequency doubler is presented, employing alternate power dividing and combining techniques. In this design approach, all positive and negative cycles of the sinusoidal source signal...
Due to the inherent upper limit in operating frequency of active devices in local oscillators, a frequency multiplier, in conjunction with a low frequency local oscillator, has often been used as a signal source, providing better overall phase-noise performance and low cost realization. 1 A balanced configuration has been...
