Abstract
A frequency multiplier device comprises a first signal combiner having a first port for receiving a first input signal having a first frequency fand a second port for receiving a second input signal having a second frequency f, the first signal combiner configured to provide an output signal having either a sum of the first frequency and second frequency or a difference of the first frequency and second frequency; and a frequency divider having a dividing ratio N, the frequency divider configured to output a divided signal, wherein the output signal from the first signal combiner is coupled to the frequency divider, the divided signal from the frequency divider is coupled to the second port of the first signal combiner, and the output signal from the first signal combiner has a frequency of (N/(N±1))×f.
