| Calculations of the small-signal response of InGaAs HEMTs by using the hydrodynamic approach coupled with a pseudo-2D Poisson equation are performed. The spectra of small-signal admittance and impedance are found to demonstrate series of the resonant peaks corresponding to excitation of plasma waves. Possibilities and conditions of instability onset and THz signal detection are discussed. |
