The key aims and objectives of this research project is the design, fabrication and testing of novel tunnelling device called the Asymmetrical Spacer Layer Tunnel Diode (ASPAT).The work will investigate the performances of fully integrated Antenna-ASPAT-Matching circuits for zero bias operation from frequencies ranging from 5.8GHz to 77GHz which encompass from Medical Implant devices to car radars applications.The programme will look send design and testing of various antenna types and their optimal matching with ASPAT diodes across a range of frequencies of interest to the industrial partner (linwave ltd). The main deliverable is the realisation of miniature, fully integrated RF circuits with very high sensitivity. The zero-bias feature of the diodes (and hence full integrated circuit) should also find applications in the Internet of Things (IoT) where ubiquitous sensors that do not require active power for operation should be very attractive. PhD Programme: Literature review, state of the art in ASPAT devices, simulation using SILVACO, CST and ADS; measurements of fabricated diodes: data and parameters extraction, design and circuit layout of resonant circuits working at microwave and mm-wave frequencies.

该研究项目的主要目的和目标是设计、制造和测试称为非对称间隔层隧道二极管(ASPAT)的新型隧道器件。这项工作将调查从5.8 GHz到77 GHz频率范围内零偏操作的全集成天线-ASPAT匹配电路的性能，包括从医疗植入设备到汽车雷达的应用。该计划将向工业合作伙伴(linwave Ltd.)发送各种天线类型的设计和测试以及它们与Aspat二极管在感兴趣的频率范围内的最佳匹配。主要成果是实现具有非常高灵敏度的微型、全集成射频电路。二极管的零偏置特性(以及全集成电路)也应该在物联网(IoT)中得到应用，在物联网中，不需要有功功率即可运行的无处不在的传感器应该非常有吸引力。博士课程：文献回顾，Aspat器件的最新发展，使用SILVACO，CST和ADS进行模拟；制造二极管的测量：数据和参数提取，工作在微波和毫米波频率的谐振电路的设计和电路布局。
