High efficiency W-band HBV Tripler and Device Reliability Studies
Paper in proceeding, 2006

We report on the design and MBE-growth of heterostructure barrier varactor (HBV) diode materials. The quality and performance of in-house HBV materials are presented. Furthermore, temperature operating life tests of the HBV diodes indicate a maximum operating temperature of 180°C before onset of severe degradation. Finally, a state-of-the-art tripler efficiency of 21% for a W-band tripler has been demonstrated using planar 2x2-barrier HBV diodes (Chalmers MBE766).
