Design of Fet Frequency Multipliers and Harmonic Oscillators

The author, a Brazilian electrical engineer consultant who has designed power amplifiers and MMICs for Hewlett-Packard and Fujitsu, has also designed this introductory text on the theory and application of field effect transistors (FETS) as frequency multipliers and harmonic oscillators. While the mathematics is kept to a minimal, a basic understanding of electronic circuit fundamentals facilitates understanding the discussion of: nonlinear MESFET models, low and high frequency multipliers, design strategies for high frequency multipliers, FET harmonic oscillators, and typical frequency multiplier topologies. Appends information on the reference device, matching networks, transferring internal to external terminals, characterization of frequency multipliers, and symbols.
