Abstract

Simulations of frequency multipliers require good knowledge of the nonlinearities of the devices. In this paper we report the first experimental measurements of the nonlinearities of a single barrier varactor (SBV) diode over extended voltage range. A similar SBV structure is also analyzed theoretically. Theoretical characteristics are in reasonable agreement with the measured curves.
