- A dual polarization super-heterodyne radiometer operating between 85 and 100 GHz has been developed and used for surface characterization. The instrument can detect changes from dry to icy road in many environmental conditions (night, fog, rain) by measuring the combination of reflected/transmitted radiation from the surface at two orthogonal polarizations. The difference in brightness temperature between those polarizations is an accurate tool to distinguish ice from dry road surfaces. Results from measurement of dry asphalt and ice layers on asphalt are presented in this paper.

- This paper presents on-wafer S-parameter characterisation of resonant-tunnelling diodes between 0.5 THz and 1.1 THz. Diodes with a peak current density of 532 kA/cm2 and a clear negative differential region have been fabricated. An on-chip Multi-Thru-Reflect-Line calibration kit was developed and utilised to achieve accurate S-parameter measurements up to 1.1 THz.

An Integrated 200-GHz Graphene FET Based Receiver

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A receiver composed by a graphene FET 200-GHz mixer and a 1-GHz intermediate frequency amplifier integrated on a silicon substrate was modelled, fabricated and characterized. This is the first demonstration of a millimeter wave integrated receiver based on graphene FETs. The receiver conversion loss is measured to be 25 dB across the 185-205-GHz band with 16 dBm of local oscillator pump power, which is in good agreement with the circuit simulations. The simulations show that the receiver conversion loss can be significantly reduced to 16 dB by reducing the contact resistance and by realizing a higher charge carrier mobility in the mixer transistor.

- We present sub-millimeter wave transceiver modules intended for imaging radar applications. In particular a novel circuit architecture that operates in homodyne FMCW radar mode will be highlighted [1], and the trade-offs between performance and circuit complexity will be discussed. The transceiver units are based on monolithically integrated Schottky diodes fabricated on 3 μm thick membranes. Radar images with 60 dB of signal-to-noise at 220 GHz will be presented as well as design results for a 340 GHz unit.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- There is a high need for >2 THz room temperature direct-detectors/harmonic-mixers to characterize THz optical sources, phase lock THz-QCLs as LO sources for multi-pixel receivers, and realize absolute frequency calibration sources for applications in astrophysics, earth science, and remote sensing. Thus, we have developed a WM-52 (WR-0.22) harmonic mixer for the 3–5 THz operation. The design, fabrication and assembly of the THz mixer are discussed.

- We present quantitative mapping of large area graphene conductance by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and micro four point probe. We observe a clear correlation between the techniques and identify the observed systematic differences to be directly related to imperfections of the graphene sheet on the length scale of several micrometers.

- The planar Goubau line is a low-loss planar single-conductor waveguide that holds promise for terahertz applications, where power efficiency is crucial. We present three circuit elements for planar Goubau line: a stopband filter, a matching load, and a power divider, which have been fabricated in a high-resistivity silicon membrane. Simulation results are presented for the matching load and the power divider. The filter’s performance is validated by comparing measurement results with simulations, showing good agreement.

Transmission Loss in Coplanar Waveguide and Planar Goubau Line between 0.75 THz and 1.1 THz

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In many cases, metallic planar waveguides are required in the design of integrated circuits. However, at terahertz frequencies, metallic planar waveguides present high losses, which make necessary the use more efficient waveguides to avoid power limitations. In this work, the attenuation constant of two popular planar waveguides for terahertz frequencies, Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) and Planar Goubau Line (PGL), are compared between 0.75 THz and 1.1 THz. To measure the PGL, its transition is deembeded using a multiline Thru-Reflect-Line calibration standard. Measurement results show a lower attenuation constant across the band for a PGL (0.13 mm-1 < α < 0.39 mm-1) than for a CPW (0.68 mm-1 < α < 0.99 mm-1) when an ultra-thin substrate is used suspended in air, which greatly reduces the substrate mode coupling from the PGL. These results put the PGL as a less lossy metallic planar waveguide for terahertz applications.
