Abstract
The results of theoretical and experimental comparison of the signal-conversion efficiency by diodes based on superlattices with a small number of periods (N-like current–voltage characteristic) and promising frequency-multiplier diodes (varactors) (parabolic capacitance–voltage characteristic) are presented.
