The invention discloses a
millimeter wave frequency quadrupler with a
broadband high-fundamental-wave suppression double-balance self-mixing structure. The
millimeter wave quadrupler comprises a
third harmonic frequency multiplication unit, a double-balance
ring type mixing unit and three transformers. An input
signal is converted into a differential
signal by the first-stage
transformer, the differential
signal is injected into the frequency multiplication unit, and one path of signal is divided as a
local oscillator of the
frequency mixing unit. And the frequency multiplication unit outputs a differential signal, and third
harmonics are injected into a source
electrode of the
frequency mixing unit as
intermediate frequency by a second-stage
transformer in a differential-to-differential manner. And the
frequency mixing unit mixes the fundamental wave and the
third harmonic wave to generate a
fourth harmonic wave, the
fourth harmonic wave is led out by a drain
electrode of the frequency mixing unit in a differential mode, and the third-stage
transformer outputs the
fourth harmonic wave by a differential-to-single end. According to the invention, the double-balance
ring type frequency mixing unit is adopted, the unit has good inhibition degree on local oscillation and
intermediate frequency leakage, a fundamental wave and
third harmonic wave mixing scheme is adopted, the problem that the frequency tripler with the self-mixing structure generates
fundamental frequency mixing products is solved, and the fundamental wave inhibition degree of the frequency tripler with the self-mixing structure is greatly improved.
