A fixed tuned tripler and a quintupler using the Heterostructure Barrier Varactor (HBV) diode are presented. The tripler utilise a novel arrangement of antipodal finline; for waveguide to microstrip transition; and microstrip elements for the diode matching. An output power of -0.8 dBm at 128 GHz was measured for the tripler; which is close to the simulated performance. For the quintupler; an output power of 5.6 dBm at 98 GHz is predicted when ideal circuit elements are used.
