Abstract

State-of-the art frequency multipliers, particularly those that operate in the submillimeter wave band, suffer from several limiting factors that make them impractical for modern array applications. In this paper we review the unique requirements placed upon frequency multipliers by array systems, report on the progress of our multiplier development effort, and outline our future development goals toward a suite of multipliers for the NRAO Millimeter Array.
