Aims:: The potentiality of Multiple Quantum Well (MQW) Impacts Avalanche Transit Time (IMPATT) diodes based on Si~3C-SiC heterostructures as possible terahertz radiators have been explored in this paper. Objective:: The static, high frequency and noise performance of MQW devices operating at 94, 140, and 220 GHz atmospheric window frequencies, as well as 0.30 and 0.50 THz frequency bands, have been studied in this paper. Methods: The simulation methods based on a Self-Consistent Quantum Drift-Diffusion (SCQDD) model developed by the authors have been used for the above-mentioned studies. Results: Thus the noise performance of MQW DDRs will be obviously better as compared to the flat Si DDRs operating at different mm-wave and THz frequencies. Conclusion:: Simulation results show that Si~3C-SiC MQW IMPATT sources are capable of providing considerably higher RF power output with the significantly lower noise level at both millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and terahertz (THz) frequency bands as compared to conventional flat Si IMPATT sources.

A wireless power transmission (WPT) requires high switching frequency to achieve energy transmission; however, existing switching devices cannot satisfy the requirements of high-frequency switching, and the efficiency of current WPT is too low. Compared with the traditional power inductors and capacitors, fractional-order elements (FOEs) in WPT can realize necessary functions though requiring a lower switching frequency, which leads to a more favorable high-frequency switching performance with a higher efficiency. In this study, a generalized fractional-order WPT (FO-WPT) is established, followed by a comprehensive analysis on its WPT performance and power efficiency. Through extensive simulations of typical FO wireless power domino-resonators (FO-WPDRS), the functionality of the proposed FO-WPT for medium and long-range WPT is demonstrated. The numerical results show that the proposed FOE-based WPT solution has a higher power efficiency and lower switching frequency than conventional methods.

Power semiconductor devices plays a major role in efficient power conversion. As we have Silicon (Si), Silicon Carbide (SiC) and Gallium Nitride (GaN) based power devices, GaN technologies are ideal for working in high frequency power electronic systems (in MHz). Because the GaN has superior electron mobility and bandgap than the SiC and Si it has superior characteristics like low conduction losses, high switching rate so that there is better power efficiency than SiC, Si based inverter. Here we are using the Gan based High-Electron-Mobility Transistor (HEMT) and SiC and Si based mosfet in the inverter. The proposed inverter of different topologies is designed to transfer the power at >1MHz range. Comparison of the three different switches is done by the output power and the efficiency of the inverter. This paper presents the SPICE simulation results of the class d and class e inverter of output power 1KW.

In the advancement of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, widespread uses and applications of devices require higher frequency connectivity to be explored and exploited. Furthermore, the size, weight, power and cost demands for the IoT ecosystems also creates a new paradigm for the hardware where improved power efficiency and efficient wireless transmission needed to be investigated and made feasible. As such, functional microwave detectors to detect and rectify the signals transmitted in higher frequency regions are crucial. This paper reviewed the practicability of self switching diodes as Radio Frequency (RF) rectifiers. The existing methods used in the evaluation of the rectification performance and cut-off frequency are reviewed, and current achievements are then concluded. The works reviewed in this paper highlights the functionality of SSD as a RF rectifier with design simplicity, which may offer cheaper alternatives in current high frequency rectifying devices for application in low-power devices.
