Abstract The Zero-Bias Schottky Diode (ZBSD) and field effect transistor (TeraFET) based Terahertz (THz) detectors be- come more and more important for beam diagnosis and alignment at THz generating accelerator facilities. The roll- off factor of the detectors at higher THz frequencies requires wide-band amplifiers to enhance the IF signal from a few µW to nW well above the noise floor of the following post detection electronics. Connecting external amplifiers to the detectors via rf cables would enhance the signal losses even further and degrade the signal to noise ratio (SNR). In order to maximize the SNR, it is necessary to have on-chip amplifier integrated in the intermediate frequency (IF) circuit of the detector in the same housing. In this work, we present the design and parametric analysis of components for transition to an IF circuit, which will be integrated in the ZBSD and TeraFET on chip with amplifier in the same housing. The design analysis has been done to find the optimal parameters. The broader IF circuit will enhance the detector resolution to capture pulses in the picosecond range with the help of fast post detection electronics.
