Abstract:
This work presents the thermal analysis of a Schottky diode frequency doubler capable of providing over 30 mW at 160 GHz at room temperature. This analysis includes thermal modeling of its structure and characterization at different temperature conditions. The modeling of different Schottky diode multiplier chip layouts indicates that the analyzed circuit uses the optimum configuration from the thermal point of view. Finally, the performance predicted by a physics-based numerical electro-thermal model for Schottky diodes integrated into a circuit simulator based on the harmonic balance technique is also presented and compared with measured data on the 160 GHz frequency doubler.
