摘要
A second-harmonic generation is reported in the 26-40 GHz band through soliton propagation on a GaAs monolithic nonlinear transmission line. At 20 dBm input power, a 20-diode structure attained < 12 dB conversion loss for input frequencies from 13.5-18 GHz, with 9.3 dB minimum conversion loss, while a 10-diode structure attained < 12 dB loss, 14-19.5 GHz (7.3 dB minimum). With reduction of conductor skin losses, broadband operation and peak conversion efficiencies approaching -3 dB are attainable. © 1991 IEEE
