Abstract
A frequency multiplier circuit comprises: a source oscillator configured to generate a source oscillator signal using a crystal oscillator; and n frequency multiplier circuits (n is an integer which is 2 or more), each of which includes a 90° phase shifter circuit configured to shift the phase of an input signal by 90°, and a mixer configured to generate a doubled signal of the input signal on the basis of the input signal and an output signal of the 90° phase shifter circuit, wherein the n frequency multiplier circuits are cascade-connected, the source oscillation signal being inputted to a first stage frequency multiplier circuit of the n frequency multiplier circuits, and a final stage frequency multiplier circuit of the n frequency multiplier circuits outputting a signal having a frequency 2 times as high as the frequency of the source oscillation signal.
