A technique is proposed to optimise the bias conditions of a InAlAs/InGaAs based Y-branch junction (YBJ), based on the DC performance, to obtain the functionality of a microwave rectifier and frequency multiplier, specifically a doubler at room temperature. Results offer significant insight into performance prediction and optimisation of YBJs for RF applications.
