Abstract
The monolithic integration of tunneling diodes (TDs) with other semiconductor devices such as HEMTs or HBTs, creates novel quantum functional nonlinear devices and circuits with unique properties: the Negative Differential Resistance (NDR) and the extremely low DC power consumption. In this paper we present an InP-HEMT/TD based voltage controlled oscillator operating in the 6GHz band suitable for wireless applications. The circuit draws a current of 1.75mA at 500mV and generates an output power of -16dBm. The maximum tuning range is 150MHz and the single sideband-to-carrier ratio (SSCR) is of -105dBc/Hz at 5MHz.
