Near 1 THz Biasless Frequency Tripler Based on Membrane Technology

Schottky diode-based frequency sources are the crucial elements for the room temperature terahertz heterodyne receiver in terahertz imaging and radio astronomy applications. Here, a near 1 THz biasless frequency tripler based on the membrane technology was presented. Linear/Nonlinear co-simulation shows its practicability of full integration up to 1 THz. The power measurement gives 56 uW output power at 930 GHz.
