Abstract
Record performances in terms of output power (9.5dBm) and maximum efficienc y (12.3%) have been demonstrated for a 250GHz heterostructure barrier varac tor tripler. Such good results are explained by the use of highly nonlinear InGaAs/InAlAs/AlAs planar integrated diodes, which are seen to have numero us advantages over their GaAs-based counterparts.
