Abstract
A method and system of providing harmonic frequency multiplication are provided. An input signal having a frequency f, is received by a programmable timing circuit. A signal that is in phase with the input signal, is provided at the first output of the programmable timing circuit. A time delayed version of the input signal, having the frequency f, is provided at the second output of the programmable timing circuit. A signal having the frequency f, is provided at the output of a first buffer. A duty cycled controlled signal having the frequency f, is provided at the output of the second buffer. A frequency nf, where n is a positive integer, is provided at the output of the multiplier. A higher-order frequency multiplied signal based on the frequencies f and nf, is provided at the output of a mixer.
