Problems solved by technology

But if the planar Gunn device is placed in a rectangular waveguide resonator, it will lose its two-dimensional integration advantage, so the best way is to put it in a resonator with a two-dimensional planar structure
However, there are still few research reports on resonant cavities suitable for planar Gunn devices.
The reported planar resonators generally have the problem of high phase noise of the device due to low Q value, and usually have a large size

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-power and low-noise planar Gunn diode and a preparation method thereof. The high-power and low-noise planar Gunn diode comprises an insulation substrate, a channel layer, and a coplanar waveguide arranged above the channel layer, the length of a resonant cavity of the coplanar waveguide is integer multiples of one half of the resonance wavelength, and the characteristic impedance of the coplanar waveguide and the impedance (usually 50 ohm) of a load are the same with the resonant frequency. The planar Gunn diode is arranged in the resonant cavity of the coplanar waveguide so that the planar Gunn device can operate in a resonance mode, the emission power, the conversion efficiency and the frequency stability of the planar Gunn device are greatly improved, and the phase noise is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-power, low-noise planar Gunn diode and a preparation method thereof, in particular to a high-frequency, high-power, low-phase noise planar Gunn diode, belonging to the technical field of diodes in microwave devices. Background technique [0002] The Gunn diode was first discovered in 1963 by J.B. Gunn. The Gunn diode utilizes the differential negative resistance effect of certain semiconductor materials (such as GaAs, InP, GaN, etc.) when electrons transition from low-energy valleys to high-energy valleys because the effective mass of electrons increases and the saturation drift speed decreases. . [0003] The traditional Gunn device is to form electrical contacts on the front and back of the semiconductor substrate, and the current flows perpendicular to the electrode plane, so it is also called a vertical Gunn device. As a small high-frequency signal source, the vertical Gunn device is widely used in radar, communica...
