- We investigate efficiency limitations of frequency multipliers with the use of a simple model for symmetric varactors. Our calculations show that the conversion efficiency is improved for a C(V) shape with large nonlinearity at zero volt bias. For quintuplers, the optimal embedding impedance at the third harmonic is an inductance in resonance with the varactor diode capacitance.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- By the Schrödinger and Poisson equations, we have theoretically investigated AlGaAs/GaAs and InAlAs/InGaAs single barrier varactors. The energy band structure, carrier distribution, and conduction current are fully exploited for varactor design. We have explained the experimental current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements very well. A simple analytical model for energy band structure is derived based on the Schrödinger and Poisson equation calculation. It is found that a barrier structure of 3 nm Al0.3Ga0.7As/3 nm AlAs/3nm Al0.3Ga0.7As for an Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs varactor and a barrier structure of 8 nm In0.52Al0.48As/3 nm AlAs/8 nm In0.52Al0.48As for In0.52Al0.48As/In0.47GaAs are optimal for minimal conduction currents.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We report the time evolution and the spatial variation of the conduction band, the electric field, and the carrier density for a GaAs/Al0.7GaAs Heterostructure Barrier Varactor diode operating in a 3x90 GHz frequency tripler. The third harmonic output power and optimal embedding impedances are given for two different diodes at pump powers of 50 mW and 100 mW.
