Abstract:
1. A two-dimensional nonlinear lattice for outputting high-frequency, high-power signals from low-frequency, low-power input signals, comprising: a plurality of first inductor strings defining a plane, each of the first inductor strings having a plurality of inductors coupled in series and being disposed along a first direction; a plurality of second inductor strings disposed within the plane of the first inductor strings, each of the second inductor strings having a plurality of inductors coupled in series and being disposed along a second direction, the first and second inductor strings intersecting at a plurality of nodes; a plurality of voltage-dependent capacitors, each of the capacitors being disposed between one of the plurality of nodes and ground; a plurality of boundary nodes configured to accept a plurality of input signals; and at least one output node configured to output an output signal of higher amplitude and higher frequency than those of the input signals.
