Abstract
En 中文
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of active frequency doubler architectures adopted for efficient generation of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals. The operational principles of each topology are explained to address a thorough comparison based on essential performance metrics such as conversion gain, power efficiency, and spectral purity. The review covers several topologies from the standard push-push (PP) doubler to its power-efficient evolution, the complementary push-push (CPP) doubler. Furthermore, this paper focuses on more recent and advanced topologies, including the complementary common gate capacitive cross-coupled (CCGCCC) doubler. Finally, this work proposes and evaluates an improved version of the CCCGCC doubler, offering insights into the state of the art and future directions in mm-wave frequency multiplication.
