Patent number: 9508764Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting electromagnetic radiation in the THz frequency range, comprising at least one transistor (FET1, FET2), which has a first electrode, a second electrode, a control electrode, and a channel between the first electrode and the second electrode, and comprising an antenna structure. An electrode is connected to the antenna structure such that an electromagnetic signal which lies in the THz-frequency range and which is received by the antenna structure (1) can be fed into the channel between electrodes and the control electrode is connected to an electrode via a capacitor and/or the control electrode and the first electrode or the control electrode and the second electrode have an intrinsic capacitor such that no AC voltage drop occurs between the control electrode and the first electrode or the second electrode.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2012Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt a. M.Inventors: Sebastian Boppel, Alvydas Lisauskas, Hartmut Roskos, Viktor Krozer

Patent number: 9190956Abstract: A sub-harmonic electronic mixer has at least one field effect transistor (FET) having a gate, source, and drain; and a useful signal input at a useful frequency; and a local oscillator input. The input receives the oscillator signal at a frequency being an integral fraction of the useful frequency, plus or minus a mixing frequency to provide a signal output. A gate of the FET and/or the drain and/or the source receives the useful signal to generate a gate-source voltage and/or a drain-source voltage whereby the gate receives the local oscillator signal to generate a gate-source voltage, and the drain or a source receives the local oscillator signal to generate a drain-source voltage. A phase shift is introduced between the signal received at the gate and the signal received at the drain or source of the FET.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2011Date of Patent: November 17, 2015Assignee: Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universitat Frankfurt a.M.Inventors: Hartmut G. Roskos, Alvydas Lisauskas, Sebastian Boppel

Patent number: 8547158Abstract: The invention relates to devices comprising field effect transistors to detect the power of an electromagnetic high frequency signal VRF. According to the prior art, the high frequency signal is coupled into the gate G and via a capacitor CGD into the drain D of the field effect transistor FET, the gate G being biased with a direct voltage Vg which corresponds to the threshold value of the FET transistor. The resulting current at the source S contains a direct current portion Ids which is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the high frequency signal. The operating frequency of said power detectors is limited to a few gigahertz (GHz) by the discrete arrangement and especially by the predetermined gate length of the field effect transistor. The aim of the invention is to improve a resistive mixer in such a manner that it can be operated at high gigahertz and terahertz frequencies.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2009Date of Patent: October 1, 2013Assignee: Johann Wolfgang Goeth-Universität Frankfurt a.M.Inventors: Ullrich Pfeiffer, Erik Oejefors, Hartmut G.
