A converter includes: a terminal that receives code-modulated power into which first alternating-current power has been code-modulated with a modulation code; and a circuit that converts the code-modulated power with a conversion code to generate second alternating-current power. The conversion code is based on the modulation code. A frequency of the second alternating-current power is higher than a frequency of the first alternating-current power.

A frequency tripler circuit includes an amplifier to receive a balanced input signal at an input frequency and outputs a balanced signal at a second harmonic of the input frequency. The frequency tripler circuit includes a passive double balanced mixer coupled to an output of the amplifier to receive the balanced signal at the second harmonic and the balanced input signal to generate an output balanced signal having a frequency triple the input frequency.
