US Patent Issued to National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia on Oct. 7 for "Complementary current reuse even harmonic frequency multiplier" (Kansas, New Mexico Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,438,506, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to National Technology & Engineering Solutions of Sandia LLC (Albuquerque, N.M.).

"Complementary current reuse even harmonic frequency multiplier" was invented by Jesse Moody (Cedar Crest, N.M.) and Travis Forbes (Overland Park, Kan.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An even harmonic multiplier employing complementary current reuse is disclosed. The even harmonic multiplier employs supply voltage and current density scaling to reduce power consumption. Further, by using complimentary NMOS and PMOS transistors, the even harmonic multiplier achieves high areal efficiency. Current reuse causes a reduction...
