Double-resonant-tunneling-diode patch-antenna oscillators

Resonant tunneling diode oscillators for optical communications

The ability to use resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) as both transmitters and receivers is an emerging topic, especially with regards to wireless communications. Successful data transmission has been achieved using electronic RTDs with carrier frequencies exceeding 0.3 THz. Specific optical-based RTDs, which act as photodetectors, have been developed by adjusting the device structure to include ...

Modeling and Analysis of Bow-Tie Antenna Integrated Resonant-Tunneling-Diode Relaxation Oscillators for Wireless Radio Applications

We propose a self-complementary bow-tie antenna-integrated resonant-tunneling-diode relaxation oscillator and investigate its oscillation/radiation characteristics. In the investigation, we establish a physics-based equivalent circuit model of the oscillator for taking the all physical phenomena related to the diode and the antenna into consideration simultaneously. In this paper, we report the...

High magnetic field tunneling transport in a double quantum well-triple barrier resonant tunneling diode

We have measured the magnetotransport of double GaAs quantum well-triple AlAs barrier resonant tunneling heterostructures in pulsed magnetic fields up to 48 T, and temperatures down to 0.3 K. The tunneling structure is designed for a near-simultaneous (triple) resonance, under bias, of the quantum well energy levels and the lowest quasi-2D emitter state. The fan chart of the I(V) resonances is ...

Resonant tunneling diode circuits using Pspice

The measured I –V data and the large-signal equivalent circuit of a resonant tunneling diode are exploited, through the analog behavioral modeling capabilities of Pspice, to create a Pspice compatible model for the diode. The model is used, with very few other components, in the simulation of a number of circuit applications including a sinusoidal wave generator, a frequency multiplier and thre...
