Abstract: A self-consistent model for double barrier Resonant Tunnelling Diodes (RTD) has been investigated. The model involves using the Airy function to obtain an accurate transmission coefficient for electrons tunnelling through the barrier and the consideration of potential shift due to free charge distribution. It will serve to optimize the RTD structure for terahertz applications. A good agreement has been achieved between computed and measured IV characteristics of RTDs.

Keywords: Resonant tunnelling diode, Self-consistent, Airy function, Quantum well

Abstract: The paper presents the design, fabrication and measurement of a low-loss fixed tuned 105-130 GHz subharmonically pumped mixer, utilizing planar GaAs Schottky barrier diodes flip-chipped onto a suspended microstrip circuit. The substrate material is 0.127-mm-thick RT/duriod-5880 instead of expensive quartz. The measurement performance of the mixer exhibits a conversion loss below 10 dB over the range of 105-130 GHz, with a fixed local oscillator (LO) frequency of 59 GHz and its power of 5 mW.

Keywords: Terahertz, Schottky diodes, Sub-harmonic mixer

Abstract: A simple means to obtain the performance of dual-band terahertz metamaterial absorber was demonstrated with numerical approaches in this paper. The dual-band absorbance of a single-layer nearly perfect absorber has been realized by employing the two conventional FSS single frequency resonant elements with different geometry shapes in single periodic cell, which can provide two tunable resonant frequencies independently for terahertz application.

Keywords: Terahertz, Metamaterial absorber, Dual band, Frequency selective surface.

Abstract: An electromagnetic crystals (EMXT) cavity filter with photonic band gap (PBG) structure is analyzed and a narrowband filter operating at around 0.5 THz is designed. The filter is simulated using the finite element method and it can be fabricated by micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology, due to its low cost, high performance and high processing precision. The simulation results show the filter has a good performance. The passband bandwidth is 7%, the rejection at one time bandwidth out of the passband is larger than 30 dB, and the insertion loss in the passband is less than 1 dB.

Keywords: Terahertz, Cavity filter, PBG Structure

Abstract:The use of millimeter and sub-millimeter wave antenna systems for the studies of space is of great significance to astronomy. This paper presents the application of Diffracted Gaussian Beam Analysis method (DGBA) in Terahertz. And a three dimensional visual software based on DGBA is used for the simulation of a single-channel quasi-optical system at 325GHz. The simulation results and comparison analysis between Simatrix and GRASP, which proves the accuracy of DGBA and the simulation by Simatrix in Terahertz are also presented.

Keywords: Terahertz, DGBA, Quasi-optical system

Abstract: A simplified approach to the parasitic elements of 2-gate figures GaN HEMT is introduced by pinch-off COLD FET S-Parameter. When extracting the parasitic parameter at pinch-off state, intrinsic circuit can be ignored as no current flows through it. As a result, if only taking extrinsic part into account, equivalent circuits constructed at different frequencies can extract different parasitic elements. With parasitic parameters from this approach, the simulation result of equivalent circuits agrees very well with experiments.

Keywords: Parasitic elements, GaN HEMT, COLD FET S-Parameter.
