Two-Element Tapered Slot Antenna Array for Terahertz Resonant Tunneling Diode 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 ...

Resonant Tunneling Diodes for Sub-Terahertz and Terahertz Oscillators

Diced and grounded broadband bow-tie antenna with tuning stub for resonant tunnelling diode terahertz oscillators

Radiation from antennas integrated with indium phosphide (InP)-based resonant tunnelling diode (RTD) oscillators is mainly through the substrate because of the effects of the large dielectric constant. Therefore, hemispherical lenses are used to extract the signal from the backside of the substrate. In this study the authors present a broadband bow-tie slot antenna with a tuning stub which is d...

Method for mounting Gunn Diode in Active Tapered Slot-Ring Antenna

To find the optimum location of an active device i.e., Gunn diode in the Active tapered Slot-Ring Antenna (ASRA) equivalent {ABCD} matrix parameters has been used, so that the best performance in antenna characteristics is realized in terms of power radiated and power received. Microstrip tapered slotring antenna was fabricated by using a 0.787mm thick Takonic TLY-5-0310-CH/CH substrate with r...
