W-band InP-based resonant tunnelling diode oscillator with milliwatt output power

Abstract

This paper presents a high power (milliwatt) W-band resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillator. The oscillator circuit employs two RTD devices in parallel and operates at 75.2 GHz with -0.2 dBm (0.95 mW) output power. To the authors knowledge, this is the highest reported output power for an RTD oscillator at W-band.
