A nonlinear microwave model of a low-barrier diode based on semiconductor junctions

Аннотация

A refined nonlinear model of a low-barrier diode based on semiconductor junctions, which is constructed in a modified equivalent electric circuit, is proposed. The model takes into account the design features of diodes of this type, as compared with a well-known model, and can be recommended for use in designing frequency converting monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) in a frequency range of up to 110 GHz.
