Frequency Multiplier Market, by Analog Type (Active frequency multiplier, Passive frequency multiplier), by Frequency Range (Below 75 GHz, between 75-110 GHz, above 110 GHz), by Application (Automotive, Military, Aerospace, and others), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa)- Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
A frequency multiplier is a device that produces an output with a frequency that is an odd or even multiple of its input frequency. For instance, for a signal with a frequency of 100,000 cycles per second (cps) or 100 kilohertz (kHz), a frequency multiplier may produce a 200 or 300 kHz signal. The frequency multiplier is commonly used in communication circuits for producing the desired signal frequency given a reference frequency. The main mechanism for a frequency multiplier is called non-linear signal transfer. When a frequency generator output is viewed on a spectrum analyzer, there is a single vertical line with a top end aligned with the amplitude of the signal. The level can be 1 volt (V). The horizontal axis indicates the frequency of this signal. For instance, the frequency of a 500 million hertz (Hz) or 500 megahertz (MHz) signal will be indicated on the horizontal axis of the spectrum analyzer. The frequency multiplier approach is used in special cases where there is only one output frequency required, due to the various combinations of bandpass filters needed to produce clean sinusoidal signals. For instance, a 10 billion cycles per second or 10-gigahertz (GHz) signal may not be possible to generate directly. It may be possible to use a 5 GHz oscillator, or frequency generator, followed by a multiplier and a bandpass filter tuned to 10 GHz.
Market Dynamics
Frequency multipliers are devices that generate an output signal of which the output frequency is a multiple or harmonic of its input frequency. For building sources at sub-millimeter or terahertz (THz) frequencies, it is more economical to develop low frequency sources using inexpensive devices and then use a series of frequency multipliers to extend it to higher frequencies.
