It is based on a 100 nm gate pseudomorphic indium–phosphide HEMT with outstanding characteristics. This demonstration amplifier meets the noise and IF bandwidth demands of atacama large millimiter/submillimeter array (ALMA) next-generation receivers, doubling the present maximum IF instantaneous bandwidth with state-of-the-art noise performance, with a gain flatness of ±0.8 dB, and output return loss better than 15 dB over 85% of the band. It can be used in the 1–19 GHz range with negligible degradation, and a tentative test has been performed with a 602–720 GHz ALMA band-9 double sideband SIS mixer, showing a flat-average and low-ripple IF noise level in an 18-GHz wideband down to near dc.

This system is used to record a terahertz electric field, with the signal being encompassed within a scan range of several picoseconds and the system being capable of realizing a single-digit femtosecond precision in the delay axis. The real-time rapid-scan system is shown to exhibit a 47 dB signal dynamic range for a THz electric field measurement consisting of the average of 300 scans. Measured THz signals show excellent agreement with the traditional step-scan system. As the developed system permits real-time monitoring of terahertz electric fields (along with a higher delay-axis precision) compared to traditional step-scan terahertz time-domain spectroscopy), we envision this system being used for critical applications such as environmental gas detection, security checks, radar monitoring, and among others.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"14 3","pages":"301-310"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140820401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The total signal transfer loss of three mixers was measured in both up- and down-conversion configurations, and the conversion loss was determined through the solution of a linear system of equations. The proposed method uses LO signals with a frequency offset to ensure single sideband measurements, thereby eliminating the need for image-reject filters. The three-mixer method was verified by measurements of millimeter-wave mixers, which matched the traditional characterization method using a calibrated source and power meter. Given this successful millimeter-wave demonstration, we characterized three WM-86 Schottky diode × 4-harmonic mixers from 2.2 to 3 THz. This technique presents a notable advantage for conducting broadband mixer characterizations, particularly in the terahertz frequency regime, which lacks tunable, wideband sources.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"14 3","pages":"424-427"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140514781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, our group has investigated their properties under pulsed laser illumination in transmission using a time-domain (TD) Norton equivalent circuit. Here, we extend this analysis to the link between a photoconductive source and a receiver introducing for the latter a second TD Norton equivalent circuit. We also evaluate the transfer function of a dispersive quasi-optical (QO) link. Specifically, a field correlation approach based on the high-frequency techniques is used to evaluate the spectral transfer function between two bow–tie-based PCAs, including the QO link. The detected currents in the receiving circuit are reconstructed using stroboscopic sampling of the modeled THz pulses, equivalent to what is actually performed by THz TD systems. Both the amplitude and the waveforms of these currents are evaluated. The QO link is then experimentally characterized to validate the proposed methodology. The comparison between the simulations and the measurements is excellent.","PeriodicalId":13258,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology","volume":"14 3","pages":"311-326"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140820389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
