Novel design for small-size coplanar waveguide frequency tripler

This letter presents a novel design for a small-size coplanar waveguide frequency tripler. In this study, a new BPF has been replaced the conventional stub lines in the output termination of the multiplier. Not only enhance the performance of the tripler, but also reduce the whole circuit size. to 2.125/spl times/2.275 cm/sup 2/ in the frequency 0.8/2.4 GHz, The spurious suppressions are 37.48, 33.38, and 32.08 dBc for the 1st, 2nd, and 4th harmonics, respectively. It reveals the best output power of -1.92 dBm for a 0 dBm input signal and maximum conversion gain of -1.92 dB. It is very useful for applications in the wireless communication and radar systems.
