A semiconductor simulation tool based on Monte Carlo techniques has been used to analyse the performance of frequency multipliers in the millimetre-wave frequency range. Both power generation and noise properties have been compared for GaAs and GaN-based doublers. GaN could be an interesting option for frequency multiplication: efficiencies around 15 % can be reached for state-of-the-art carrier mobilities and noise performance is better than in GaAs-based doublers.
