Abstract :
The video detection properties of the BARITT diode are described, and experimental and theoretical results for several diode structures are presented. Measured noise equivalent power (NEP) values of less than -99 dBm are reported for a K-band diode in its negative-resistance region. For frequencies beyond those in the negative-resistance region, the detection properties are projected to compare favorably with those of a Schottky-barrier.
