Abstract
Optimization of the transfer coefficient of millimeter-wave mixers based on resonant tunneling diodes
Incoming article date: 27.10.2021In this work, a theoretical determination of the transfer coefficient of millimeter-wave mixers based on resonant tunneling diodes is carried out. The analysis of the conditions for optimizing the transmission coefficient of microwave mixers using resonant tunneling diodes as nonlinear elements is carried out. The optimal constant voltage is determined, at which the amplitude of the local oscillator, required to obtain the maximum transfer coefficient of the mixer, will have the smallest value, and the coefficient itself will be the largest.
