AB  - A planar device known as the Self-Switching Diode (SSD) has been demonstrated as a high-speed rectifier, up to terahertz frequencies. The rectifying properties of SSD are dependent on a nonlinear current-voltage characteristic of the device. In this research, the rectification of two SSD rectifiers has been reported and their performances were evaluated. The observed results showed a good agreement with the nonlinear theoretical analysis of both rectifiers by means of a Taylor series which can be utilized in improving the rectifying performance of any diode-based rectifier specifically for diodes with tunable threshold voltage such as SSDs.
