A Schottky diode frequency tripler for the 3-mm receiver system designed for observation of ozone and carbon monoxide spectral lines at frequencies 110.836 and 115.271 GHz, respectively, is developed. The used varactor parameters are investigated and its limiting values of frequency tripling efficiency in the 3-mm wavelengths calculated. A design of the multiplier, which allows to realize close to the calculated levels of frequency conversion efficiency is proposed. The characteristics of the de
