Comparison of equivalent circuit models (ECM) for photoconductive antennas (PCA)
represents a challenge due to the multiphysics phenomena involved during PCA operation …

In recent years, several experimental and simulation studies have been reported on the
terahertz (THz) generation using a photoconductive antenna (PCA). The major problem with …

This second part of two papers' sequence presents the experimental validation of the Norton
equivalent circuit model for pulsed photoconductive antennas (PCAs) provided in the first …

Low terahertz (THz) radiation power and low efficiency are the well-known drawbacks of
photoconductive antennas (PCAs). To increase THz-radiation power of PCAs, a dielectric …

A photoconductive antenna (PCA) is modeled using a higher order solution derived from the
Boltzmann's equation to accurately predict anomalous behaviors in this system. In the case …

An equivalent circuit model for large-area PIN photodiodes used in visible light
communication (VLC) applications is described. The modelling aims to gain insight into the …

We present a comprehensive study of uni-travelling carrier photodiode impedance and
frequency photo-response supported by measurements up to 110 GHz. The results of this …

Due to the continuous increase in data traffic, it is becoming imperative to develop
communication systems capable of meeting the throughput requirements. Monolithic Opto …

While electronics has enjoyed quite sophisticated computer based simulation and design
tools for decades, only 15 years ago there were virtually no professional commercial tools …

We determine the output impedance of uni-travelling carrier (UTC) photodiodes at
frequencies up to 400 GHz by performing, for the first time, 3D full-wave modelling of …
