Abstract
A resonant tunneling diode (RTD)-based oscillator operating at an output operation frequency of 1.52 THz is proposed. The proposed oscillator utilizes a unique negative differential conductance characteristic and a triple-push principle for high frequency operation. The RTD triple-push oscillator with an on-chip patch antenna has been successfully fabricated by using an InP-based RTD monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology. The fabricated RTD oscillator shows the output power of 1.9 μW at an output frequency of 1.52 THz. The obtained DC power consumption is 11.6 mW.
