Abstract :
Microwave characteristics of a new type of a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) based on GaN nanostructural cathode with two-layer AlxGa1-xN-GaN coating are investigated theoretically in framework the model of vacuum RTD . Optimum parameters of cathode coating layers were found at which the upper frequency of diode negative conductance band is in sub-millimeter range of wave length.
