Abstract :
The millimeter frequency range is being intensively investigated. Novel types of oscillators, both diode-like (TUNETT) and lasers have been put forward; the search of effective control devices is also of great interest. Volume and surface oriented integrated p-i-n-structures modulators have demonstrated high efficiency in millimeter wave range. These structures possess high modulation and high-speed properties, sustain great EM powers, but their modulation characteristics in millimeter and sub millimeter range have not been yet investigated in detail. A comparison and criteria of these modulators based on silicon, in millimeter range are presented here.
