Abstract:
An accumulation-mode MOS varactor is formed with a standard CMOS process and having an anti-symmetric-CV curve. The asymmetric varactor (ASVAR) can efficiently generate even-order harmonics while simultaneously suppressing odd-order harmonics over broad bandwidths. This is achieved without degradation of dynamic cut-off frequency. The improved cut-off frequency of the asymmetric varactor results in efficient even-harmonic generation well into sub-millimeter or terahertz frequencies. This and the inherent adaptive-CV features of the asymmetric varactor result in even-harmonic generation with process variation resilience and can also be utilized for frequency response shaping and for optimizing performance at various driving conditions.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 12 :\n wherein the first bias signal is a first bias signal of a second stage of the frequency multiplier, the second bias signal is a second bias signal of the second stage, the input signal is a first stage output signal, the output signal is a second stage output signal, and the method further comprising:\n receiving a first bias signal of a first stage of the frequency multiplier that is applied to a first layer of a first varactor of a symmetric varactor of the frequency multiplier and is applied to a first layer of a second varactor of the symmetric varactor of the frequency multiplier; \n receiving a second bias signal of the first stage that is applied to a third layer of the second varactor of the symmetric varactor; \n receiving a first stage input signal; and, \n in response to the first bias signal of the first stage, the second bias signal of the first stage, and the first stage input signal, generating the first stage output signal comprising a first stage output frequency that is an odd order multiple of a first stage input frequency of the first stage input signal.
