  7. 5. Modelling and design of high-power HBV multipliers

    Author : Mattias Ingvarson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal limitations; semiconductor; millimetre and sub-millimetre wave power source; varactor diode; frequency multiplier; heterostructure barrier varactor;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with symmetric varactor frequency multipliers for millimetre and sub-millimetre wave applications. Much of the material presented is general and applicable to any type of (symmetric) varactor, but the focus is on the heterostructure barrier varactor (HBV). The basic function and principles of HBVs are explained. READ MORE
