The task of designing frequency multipliers and comb generators has traditionally been plagued by challenges such as low output power

The task of designing frequency multipliers and comb generators has traditionally been plagued by challenges such as low output power, unexpected parasitic frequencies, and oscillations. Computer-aided-design (CAD) software can overcome these problems, though. The purpose of this work is to predict the behavior of a nonlinear step-recovery diode (SRD) in a harmonic-generator circuit. By doing so, one can achieve high correlation between simulation results and measured data...
