  2. 1. Microwave Transistor Noise Model Extraction Methods and a Non-Contacting Scattering Parameter Measurement Method

    Author : Jörgen Stenarson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; extraction; S-parameter; noise parameter; vector network analyzer; electro-magnetic probe; microwave; non-contacting testing; transistor noise model; VNA; EM-probe; non-invasive testing;

    Abstract : This thesis has two parts. The first part discuss noise model extraction methods for FETs. The second part describe theory and implementation of a non-contacting S-parameter measurement method. Noise is an important aspect for a circuit designer, because noise generated in the circuit is a sensitivity limiting factor. READ MORE

  4. 2. Characterisation of terahertz integrated membrane circuits

    Author : Johanna Hanning; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waveguide width error; calibration; THz; membrane circuit; TRL; measurement uncertainty; single-flange 2-port; 220–325 GHz; cable flex; WR-03; VNA; S-parameter;

    Abstract : In this thesis a novel measurement setup and thru-reflect-line (TRL) calibration kit for vector network analyser (VNA) measurements at 220 GHz to 325 GHz (WR-03) is presented. Measurements on passive membrane circuit devices under test (DUTs) show improvement in the S-parameters compared to a waveguide integrated membrane circuit setup in previous work, especially in reducing the ripples and increasing repeatability of the measurements.

  7. 5. Modelling of Terahertz Planar Schottky Diodes

    Author : Aik-Yean Tang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; S-parameter extraction; Electro-thermal; Schottky diodes; Skin effect; Electromagnetic; Frequency multipliers; High-power frequency multiplier; Current crowding; Proximity effect; Submillimetre wave generation and detection; Geometric modelling; Gallium Arsenide;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the modelling of THz planar Schottky diodes, focusing on analyses of the geometry- dependent parasitics and the diode chip thermal management. Moving towards higher operating frequencies, the electromagnetic couplings pose significant limitations on the diode performance. READ MORE
