Diode Frequency Doublers - Ordinary fast switching silicon diodes, special fast
recovery junction diodes, schottky barrier diodes, varactors and even old-fashioned
germanium diodes or vacuum tubes may be used to construct signal powered frequency
doublers.....(electronic circuit added 7/03)
Gyrator Circuit - The gyrator principle uses the effect that the value of input
capacitance at the base of a transistor is effectively multiplied by the current gain
of the transistor. (added 6/03)
Simple Variable Voltage Source - The high current regulator below uses an
additional winding or a separate transformer to supply power for the LM317 regulator
so that the pass transistors can operate closer to saturation and improve efficiency.
For good efficiency the voltage at the collectors of the two parallel 2N3055 pass
transistors ..... (added 4/05)
Two Diode Odd-Order Multiplier - It is often necessary to multiply the frequency
of low noise oscillators without significantly degrading the phase noise beyond the
theoretical 20 log (N). Low noise frequency doublers constructed with Schottky signal
diodes are readily available but higher-order multipliers often....(added 08/08/08)
