Compact Wideband Antiparallel Diode Frequency Triplers Utilizing Planar Transitions

Compact Wideband Antiparallel Diode Frequency Triplers Utilizing Planar Transitions

Two designs of frequency triplers, which use planar transitions as baluns and an antiparallel diode pair to achieve wide bandwidth, are presented. The ultrawideband transitions are utilized for input and output impedance matching of the frequency triplers. The design process and operation principles...
