Overview Frequency translation devices such as multipliers and dividers are used to convert frequencies from lower spectrum regimes to higher frequencies, and vice versa. As these devices are intrinsically non-linear, they generate spurious harmonics, which are often...

Q. How does the return loss at the output of a frequency doubler vary as input power changes? A. Return loss is influenced by how hard the diodes are driven in their conducting state. As input power to the frequency doubler is reduced, the impedance will increase. It...
