    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with symmetric varactor frequency multipliers for millimetre and sub-millimetre wave applications. Much of the material presented is general and applicable to any type of (symmetric) varactor, but the focus is on the heterostructure barrier varactor (HBV). The basic function and principles of HBVs are explained. LÄS MER
