  • Patent number: 4063070
    Abstract: An improved wideband frequency multiplier characterized as follows: a saw-tooth signal generator supplying a saw-tooth wave having a frequency equal to the frequency to be multiplied, the level of the voltage wave varying between a reference level and a maximum which is related to the frequency to be multiplied; storage means for storing a voltage equal to, or closely approaching the maximum voltage value of the saw-tooth wave; a voltage divider having several outputs, each of which provides an output which is a given fraction of the stored voltage; a number of comparators each of which corresponds to and is coupled to an output of the voltage divider, each comparator comparing the instantaneous value of the saw-tooth voltage with the voltage supplied by the corresponding output of the voltage divider, and supplying a first level signal when said instantaneous value is lower than the voltage supplied by said corresponding output, and a second level signal when it is higher; and logical circuits combining the
