Abstract

A very high frequency harmonic generator utilizes a type III-V (e.g. GaAs) FET. An input signal is applied to the gate of the FET at a sufficient level to induce non-linear functioning of the FET. This causes an output signal to appear between the source and drain having frequency components of at least the tenth harmonic of the input signal. The device is particularly applicable to the generation of microwave signals.
