Description

Terahertz D-band planar frequency doubler
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of terahertz frequency conversion devices, and relates to a terahertz D-band planar frequency doubler.
Background
Due to limited spectrum resources in the microwave band, the frequency band adopted by modern communication/radar technology is higher and higher. For example, 5G mobile communication has been used to the millimeter wave band, and 6G mobile communication has been planned to the terahertz band. Although the terahertz frequency band has a certain application at the present stage, the terahertz device is still not rich enough compared with the microwave/millimeter wave frequency band, and many devices still adopt waveguide-type discrete devices, which also leads to the fact that the front-stage terahertz structure is relatively bloated.
The frequency multiplier is one of core devices of the terahertz system and can frequency-multiply a signal source of a microwave frequency band to a terahertz wave band. The Schottky varactor is a core device designed by the existing frequency multiplier, has very high frequency multiplication efficiency compared with the Schottky varactor, and is suitable for high-efficiency high-power frequency multiplication application. Under the current situation that the existing terahertz waveband amplifier is far from mature, frequency multiplication is the mainstream mode for realizing the terahertz signal source at present, and even almost all transmitters of a prototype adopting the terahertz waveband communication/radar principle at present adopt a direct frequency multiplication transmission mode.
In the prior art, a document "Terahertz Sources Based on Frequency Multiplication and theory Applications" published in 2008 (Alain Maestini, Frequency Journal of RF-Engineering and Telecommunications) introduces a Terahertz band Frequency multiplier, and in recent years, the implementation principle and mode of the Frequency multiplier are almost not changed, and researchers only put the research emphasis on the implementation process, so that the Frequency Multiplication efficiency and the output power of the Frequency multiplier can be further increased, and devices are waveguide interfaces and have large volume and weight. Most of reported D-band frequency multipliers adopt waveguide and cavity structures, and transmission lines generally adopt suspended microstrip lines which are installed in a cavity in a suspended mode. This is not conducive to planar integration of multiple devices. The planar frequency multiplier designed by the inventor can be directly integrated with devices such as a planar mixer, an amplifier and the like.
