Traditional linear interaction RF sources, such as Klystrons and Traveling Wave Tubes, fail to produce significant power levels at millimeter wavelengths. This is because their critical dimensions are small compared to the wavelength, and the output power scales as the square of the wavelength. We present a vacuum tube technology, where the device size is inherently larger than the operating wavelength. We designed a low–voltage mm–wave source, with an output interaction circuit based on a spherical sector cavity. This device was configured as a phased-locked frequency multiplier. We report the design and cold test results of a proof-of-principle fifth harmonic frequency multiplier with an output frequency of 57.12 GHz.
