Broadband frequency sources are required to extend the frequency range of broadband microwave and millimeter-wave (mmWave) test equipment for applications such as 5G new radio (NR) communications, automotive radar, and security (detection) applications. In some broadband systems, nonlinear transmission line (NLTL)-based multipliers and receivers have been used to extend the frequency ranges. NLTL-based multipliers can be used to extend broadband system frequency ranges. However, the difficulty in meeting the input drive level and unwanted harmonic suppression requirements for NLTL devices motivated Anritsu designers to develop an extended planar frequency tripler covering the entire G-band (140-220 GHz). Cadence AWR software enabled them to 3D simulate the structure and extract an accurate representation of the six-port model that was critical to the success of the design. CUSTOMER SUCCESS WR15-WR5 G-band tripler assembly. Complete 3D EM model of the G-band tripler. Anritsu Designs G-Band Frequency Tripler for Broadband Instrumentation The time it takes to figure out how to do something with Microwave Office software is far less than other circuit simulators on the market. It is the only circuit simulator Anritsu owns and uses.
