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 12):
A method of a frequency multiplier, the method comprising:\n receiving a first bias signal that is applied to a first layer of a first varactor of an asymmetric varactor of the frequency multiplier and is applied to a first layer of a second varactor of the asymmetric varactor of the frequency multiplier; receiving a second bias signal that is applied to a third layer of the second varactor of the asymmetric varactor; receiving an input signal; and, in response to the first bias signal, the second bias signal, and the input signal, generating an output signal comprising an output frequency that is an even order multiple of an input frequency of the input signal.
