Abstract
We present a systematic analysis of geometry-dependent parasitics for THz sub-harmonic Schottky mixer diodes. In particular, the diode RF power coupling bandwidth has been studied, showing a trade-off between the air-bridge finger length and finger separation for operating frequencies beyond 1 THz.
