Concatenation of a Frequency Doubling Mechanism to Achieve Higher Frequency Multiplication

The range of motion of elastic energy sources is limited by the size of its transmission system. To enhance this range of motion without compromising the size, previous research introduced a frequency doubling mechanism with the intention to concatenate these mechanisms. This study serves to achieve higher numbers of frequency multiplication by...

Parametric study of an elastic singularity-based frequency doubler for concatenation

The use of elastic frequency multipliers presents the ideal platform to address the coupling between the footprint and range of motion of elastic mechanisms. By transmitting unidirectional into reciprocating motion they efficiently increase the range of motion without a huge compromise in size. In this thesis, an elastic<br/>frequency doubler...

Signal Up-conversion for Integrated Radar Systems

Frequency up-conversion is an integral part of the (sub)mm wave integrated radar system that is currently developed at the TUDelft in the context of the MEMPIS program. The proposed up-converter IC allows the necessary signal modulation for the radar to be generated at a relative low frequency, after up-conversion to W-band takes place. In our...
