Diode modeling for milimeter wave applications based on co-simulation technique

This paper addresses the modeling and the co-simulation technique of millimeter wave Schottky diode for millimeter wave applications such as rectennas and detectors. In order to provide accurate simulation models a co-simulation technique based on the combination of full-wave electromagnetic simulations and non-linear circuit modeling is proposed. The obtained results demonstrates a good correlation between simulation and measurement and the proposed methodology can be used for designing high-performing circuits without expensive and time consuming prototyping.
