Abstract
Extensive studies on the theoretical performance of Schonky‐varactors and varistors as multipliers of a frequency around 100 GHz to the submillimeter region (400‐1200 GHz) in various direct and cascaded configurations have been carried out using harmonic balance analysis. Because of high circuit losses (≥10 dB) in a multiplier chain producing 1 THz, the output power seems to stay at or below 100 μW even in the best multiplier configurations when the available input power at 100 GHz is 50 mW.
