SUBHARMONIC OSCILLATIONS IN PARAMETRIC DIODES,

Abstract

Investigation of subharmonic oscillations of order one-half and one-third in presence of a capacitor with a nonlinear charge-voltage rela tionship of third order is made. It is found that for one-half oscillations the nonlinearity of second order is essential for the existence of the subharmonic while the nonlinearity of third order results in a definite amplitude on the oscillation as a function of frequency. For subharmonics of order one-third the third order nonlinearity is essential for existence while the second order nonlinearity does not contribute to the solution in the first approximation. For both cases the particular nonlinearity of a par ametric diode is inserted and discussed. Further limitation due to the conduction properties of a diode is also considered. (Author)
