In a semiconductor device that we are working on, we are observing that if we input an ac signal, the frequency of the signal can be doubled and tripled with some good efficiency. I have been wondering about the possible applications of such a harmonic generator. Since circuits is not really my forte, I would like to learn more about the potential of such a result. I have read that Phase-locked loops (PLL) have a good application for harmonic generation. What are the other applications where we can possibly try out this harmonic generation ability? And what would be the required quality of these harmonics if they are to be useful? Thanks in advance!

Frequency multipliers are standard RF blocks - e.g. mostly because it is easier to control lower frequency. A wide range of them is available, e.g:

Every digital sound is generated with PLL. As every circuit, it depends on the requirements.
Dear Ragib Ahsan , how are you?
Complementing the answer of Nikolay Pavlov , mosfet and bipolar transistors can be used to generate multiples frequencies (harmonic components) due to your nonlinear behavior, quadratic (mosfet) or exponential (bipolar). The idea is to use a transistor and filter to select the target harmonic component.
Best regards,

Hello
the idea that you talk about is the same theory of SRD (Step Recovery Multiplier) you can search and know how to design, implement, and measure it
this device is a diode when receive frequency out a multiple from this frequency and then you can use a Band Pass Filter to select the desire frequency. it is frequency multiplier
