110 GHz. The 54000 series multipliers provide 50 to 75 GHz coverage in WR15 or 75 to 110 GHz in WR10. An MG3690A with Option 18, mmW bias, is required to drive these multipliers. The MG3692A provides the input frequencies which are below 20 GHz. Higher frequency MG3690A models could be used, but are not necessary.
