Diode embedding impedance is found by full- wave analysis with lumped port to model the nonlinear junction for impedance matching without the need of diode equivalent circuit model. All the matching circuit is designed ＂on-chip＂ and the mul- tiplier is self-biasing. To the doubler, a conversion efficiency of 6.1% and output power of 5.4mW are measured at 214GHz with input power of 88mW, and the typical measured efficiency is 4.5% in 200 - 225 GHz.展开更多

Different blocking diodes were examined, like germanium and silicon homojunction diodes and silicon Schottky diodes and compared to ＂intelligent＂ diodes, consisting of operational amplifiers with MOSFET switches. The simulations indicate a strongly reduced power loss in a panel integrating the new ＂intelligent＂ blocking diodes even when compared to silicon Schottky diodes, as the best performing traditional blocking diodes.展开更多
