Realization of a 150 GHz to 450 GHz tripler circuit based on a thin dielectric HMDS-N-membrane

Abstract

The realization of a 150 GHz to 450 GHz tripler circuit based on a thin dielectric HMDS-N membrane is described. The design requires an integration of a GaAs-based heterostructure barrier varactor on a passive feeding structure based on a thin dielectric membrane, which is realized by thermocompression bonding. First measurements show sufficient output power and efficiencies.
