Performance of GaN/AlGaN based Double Velocity Avalanche Transit Time device is proposed in this paper, for the first time, for useful application in THz-imaging. The device is designed and analyzed by developing a generalized non-linear large-signal simulator that includes effects of elevated temperature, phonon-bottle-necking, scattering limited mobility-velocity and parasitic resistance. The simulation reveals that the proposed device is capable of generating a considerable pulsed power ~8 × 10

with an efficiency of 8 % at 1.4 THz under 50 % large signal modulation. Dc characterization of the fabricated diodes is in agreement with simulation results.
