Design of 340 GHz 2× and 4× Sub-Harmonic Mixers Using Schottky Barrier Diodes in Silicon-Based Technology
Abstract: This paper presents the design of terahertz 2× and 4× sub-harmonic down-mixers using Schottky Barrier Diodes fabricated in standard 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology. The 340 GHz sub-harmonic mixers (SHMs) are designed based on anti-parallel-diode-pairs (APDPs). With the 2nd and 4th harmonic, local oscillator (LO) frequencies of 170 GHz and 85 GHz are used to pump the two 340 GHz SHMs. W...
متن کاملDesign of a 94-GHz Single Balanced Mixer Using Planar Schottky Diodes with a Nano-Dot Structure on a GaAs Substrate
In this paper, we develop a 94-GHz single balanced mixer with low conversion loss using planar Schottky diodes on a GaAs substrate. The GaAs Schottky diode has a nanoscale anode with a T-shaped disk that can yield high cutoff frequency characteristics. The fabricated Schottky diode with an anode diameter of 500 nm has a series resistance of 21 Ω, an ideality factor of 1.32, a junction capacitan...
متن کاملNovel Designs for Submillimeter Subharmonic and Fundamental Schottky Mixers
To meet requirements for future planetary and astrophysics space missions, new mixers have been designed to take advantage of the frameless GaAs membrane technology developed at JPL. Single-diode fundamental mixers have been designed for 350,440, 560,640 and 1200 GHz, with 14% bandwidth. Additionally, subharmonic mixers for 560 GHz have been designed. Two circuit topologies have been used for t...

متن کاملDevelopment of An Improved Sub-harmonic Mixer Based on Planar Schottky Diodes at 94 Ghz
Accompany with the rapid development of millimeter-wave science and technology, subharmonically pumped mixers has received more and more attention. In this study, a balanced sub-harmonic fixtuned mixer is designed based on combination of linear/nonlinear circuit simulation. It is realized based on rogers substrate process to minimize the cost and simplify the assembly. The mixer works in the 91...
