Frequency Triplers
ACST’s frequency triplers offer a practical solution for increasing signal frequency in mmWave and sub-THz applications while preserving power and bandwidth. Utilizing proprietary high-power Schottky varactor-diode technology, these triplers are engineered for both high efficiency and broad frequency coverage, extending sources well beyond the W-band. They’re commonly deployed in radar systems, active imaging setups, and as local oscillators in heterodyne receivers.
