NEW CONCEPTS FOR SOLID STATE MICROWAVE GENERATORS.

Abstract

Errors arising in measurements of negative resistance and current gain of transit-time devices are discussed. A new circular geometry for these devices is introduced. Although improved results were obtained, corrected measurements show that the negative resistance is just large enough to cancel the package and lead resistance. The power loss in PIN diodes operating as harmonic generators is considered. (Author)
