Abstract
This paper describes the design, fabrication and experimental results for planar monolithic multipliers with output frequencies in W and D band. The multipliers are fabricated using FGC (Finite Ground Coplanar) lines which provide a low loss, low dispersion near TEM structure. This structure allows circuit fabrication on full thickness wafers with no via holes. A variety of circuits have been designed and fabricated. Different W band multipliers have an output efficiency of 22.9%, a peak output power of 66 milliwatts and an output bandwidth greater than 8 GHz in W band. Initial D band results show an uncalibrated output of approximately 100 μW at 160 GHz.
