Electromagnetic Physical Numerical Modeling of a GaN Distributed Transferred Electron Device–Based Planar Waveguide THz Oscillator

摘要

The radio frequency (RF) operation of a planar waveguide THz oscillator based on the distributed transferred electron device (DTED) is theoretically investigated by means of 2-D time-domain numerical physical modeling based on the self-consistent solution of the Maxwell and free electron energy-momentum macroscopic transport equations.
