A new distributed frequency multiplier topology is proposed. The phase matching condition accordingly to the order of frequency multiplication is derived. Based on this topology, a frequency doubler for 8–12 GHz output frequencies is designed and analyzed numerically. Due to the circuit topology, the fundamental and third harmonics at the output may be suppressed completely.
