An ultra-high-frequency memristor circuit model

Abstract

In the context of sixth-generation (6G) wireless communications technology, advanced radio-frequency switches are required to accommodate high-frequency terahertz range and complex modulation techniques. This paper proposes a flexible charge-controlled memristor model specifically designed for ultra-high-frequency applications. It describes in detail the derivation of the behavior model of the proposed memristor circuit. The memristor circuit model is built around four inverters, two multipliers, one integrator, one adder, and one differentiator. Through PSPICE simulation, the typical hysteresis loop of the memristor is thoroughly analyzed, demonstrating its suitability for use in wireless communication systems. The model exhibits a good typical hysteresis loop that operates over a wide frequency range from 100 kHz to 20 THz, meeting the specific requirements of terahertz applications. Compared to existing memristor designs, it operates at a much higher frequency. However, the zero crossing of the typical hysteresis loop deviates when the operating frequency exceeds 20 THz. Furthermore, the proposed memristor model can be customized in terms of set/reset voltage, operating frequency and , and has been verified for use in high speed switches with switching speeds of 19.5 ps. Furthermore, this research fills the gap in ultra-high-frequency memristor modeling, offering valuable insights and guidance for the utilization of memristors in the 6G technology and ultra-high frequency fields.
