We report a room temperature operation of resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillators with high output power of around 400 muW at frequencies of 530-590 GHz, using large-area RTDs and an optimized structure of offset-fed slot antennas. The highest output power obtained in this study was 420 muW at 548 GHz for a single RID with a peak current density of 24 mA/µm2; the RTD was placed 58 µm apart from the center of a 130-µm-long slot antenna.
