A compact highly responsive planar zero-bias Schottky detector is proposed for uni-planar and low-cost fabrication. Various zero-bias Schottky diodes are investigated, in particular the optimization of impedance matching by the antenna design itself. The realized folded dipole based detector demonstrates an outstanding system voltage responsivity of 7,079 mV/mW at 86 GHz without lenses or pre-amplification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
