Abstract

The solution of the resonant-tunneling diode-based subharmonic microwave radio signals mixer’s reliability in given operating conditions are presented. The goal was achieved by design and technological optimization of the device’s electrical parameters. The optimal combination of the mixer’s electrical parameters was determined by a software suite developed by the authors. The gamma-percentage resource was increased by 1.49 times after optimization.
