Abstract
Through the study of the step recovery diode (SRD) models, a method fo r improving the efficiency of CAD of SRD frequency multipliers is prop osed. By reducing the nonlinearity of the SRD model to an appropriate extent, the simulation and optimization of SRD frequency multipliers c an be carried out more easily and faster. Systematic design and optimi zation of an SRD frequency multiplier is described. Simulation results of this SRD frequency multiplier are compared with experimental resul ts.
