Passive Multipliers
Standard Features:- 18 to 110 GHz Coverage (in multiple bands)
- Cost Effective Frequency Extension
- Input Power Up to 24 dBm (K-2X and Ka-2X)
- Waveguide Input Available on V-2X, E-2X, and W-2X
The standard multipliers described below utilize variable-resistance Schottky barrier diodes as the non-linear element. All are of balanced configuration to suppress undesired harmonics, unconditionally stable for any input/output VSWR and they cover complete waveguide bandwidths.
