Abstract
A Q-band frequency tripler with centre frequency at 42 GHz has been developed. It is a Schottky diode based planar frequency tripler packaged in a compact hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC). A commercially available low cost Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) based amplifier has been integrated at the output of the tripler to enhance the output power to +13 dBm at 42 GHz for a corresponding input power of +10 dBm at 14 GHz. More than 40 dBc of harmonic rejection has been achieved without using any additional output filter.
