Abstract :
In this contribution we propose an analytical approach for the calculation of the high-frequency noise spectrum of frequency multipliers based on n+n-metal Schottky-barrier diodes and n+n - barrier - nn+ Heterostructure-barrier varactors. The model includes a diodes operating in series with a parallel resonant circuit to extract the harmonics generated in the terahertz frequency region.
