In such a an ambient-RF-signal power environment—typically less than −20 dBm (10 μW)—current rectifier technology either fails to operate or exhibits a low RF-to-DC conversion efficiency.

Applications Due to their fast-switching speed and negative resistance, tunnel diodes are often used in: High-frequency oscillators Amplifiers Detectors Fast switching circuits Let’s explore some of ...

We start by showing the theoretical fundamentals supporting the method which is based on small-signal regime operation of the LED. Procedures for characterization of a given LED are described in ...

This extremely small size suggests that a photon has no energy, but interacts with the vacuum field to provide energy for excitations. Thus, the above discussion with Figure 1 tells us that the size ...

The response to an applied voltage in the forward bias region is controlled by the diode's threshold voltage, which is dependent on the type of material the diode is built with. A silicon diode has an ...

Infrared radiation is converted into direct electric current using a nanoantenna-coupled diode architecture. Direct rectification of electromagnetic radiation is a well-established method for ...

This signal creates a resonance magnetization precession in the "free layer" of a nano-scale SMD. A precession signal is detected by giant magneto-resistance effect.

Furthermore, the spin-torque diode effect is phase-sensitive. A small r.f. current (I = Ia.c. sin (2π ft) passing through MTJ exerts a torque on the free-layer spin.

A small-signal analysis is made on the Read-type avalanche transit time diode in which both holes and electrons and differing ionization rates for holes and electrons are considered in a silicon diode ...
