This balanced doubler consists of an active balun and a distributed doubler. A sharing collector line is used in the balanced distributed doubler to reduce the chip size. This circuit exhibits a measured conversion loss of less than 8 dB and a fundamental rejection of better than 23 dB for the output frequency between 4 and 18 GHz. The chip size is 1.1× 0.7 mm 2.Balanced doublerDistributed doublerSiGe BiCMOS[SDGs]SDG7A broadband balanced distributed frequency doubler with a sharing collector linejournal article10.1109/LMWC.2008.20113362-s2.0-60449107506
