This paper presents the analysis and design of a new W-band pulsed transmitter using injection-locking to achieve pulse-to-pulse coherence and power amplification. First, a new timing scheme is introduced to solve the asynchronous problem that commonly exists in multistage injection-locked transmitters. Then the pulsewidth of one stage in the transmitter is intentionally made somewhat longer than that of the next stage, and thus, the rising edge noise of the output pulse is minimized. Finally, a high coherent peak power can be achieved without using complex power combing techniques. To verify our analysis, a W-band pulse transmitter is designed and fabricated that operates at a 78 ns pulsewidth, 50 µs pulse period, and 600 MHz locking bandwidth. The experiment shows that a coherent peak power of 22.3±0.9 W was achieved at 94.2 GHz.

“…A passive diode power detector is also extensively used at the MMW band, and much more effective than the active one at terahertz (THz) band [4]. In addition, passive detector's advantages include low flicker noise and insensitivity to ambient temperature variation [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. At present, the best candidate for passive detector design is Sb-diode.…”

“…HRL Laboratories owns the Sb-diode detector patent, and there is no commercial Sb-diode released commercially. Thus, plenty of works have been carried out with Schottky diode rather than Sb-diode [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Among them, the mostly used diodes are HSCH-9161 from Avago [10][11][12][13], which is actually the same as MZBD-9161 from Aeroflex [14], and zero bias Schottky diode (ZBD) from Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI) [15][16][17].…”

This is because the equivalent model is not adequate for such high frequency applications, leading to the inaccurate design of the matching circuits.…”

A power detector based on Schottky diode with a quartz substrate is proposed in this study. A three‐dimensional model of the Schottky diode is built for accurate performance evaluation. A broadband input DC grounding circuit is designed based on two sets of radial stubs. An output chocking circuit is implemented using a single compact microstrip resonator cell, which features compact size and broad stopband. Input and output matching circuits are also introduced to achieve flat frequency response. Measured results agree well with simulated ones. The voltage sensitivity is about 6000–9500 mV/mW with −30 dBm drive power at the full W‐band (75–110 GHz). The detector also has outstanding temperature stability. The output voltage varies <6.3% with −3 dBm drive power when ambient temperature changes from −40 to +60°C.
