Abstract
In this communication, we address the Computer Aided Design issue by means of Harmonic Balance (HB) and Electromagnetic (EM) simulations with application to the design of a tripler with an output frequency @ 250 GHz. For this purpose, Heterostructure Barrier Varactors (HBV´s) with state-of-the art performances in terms of voltage handling (10 V) and capacitance ratio (> 5:1) were fabricated starting from InP-based growth epilayers. The devices are fully dc and rf characterized up to 110 GHz by means of three kinds of test samples. On this basis, de-embedding techniques combining measurements at the intrinsic level and characterization of the diode electromagnetic environment are described in details having in mind a top-down approach.
