VULNERABILITY EFFECTS IN BULK-SOLIDS. VOLUME I.

Abstract

Intrinsic characteristics of Gunn diodes, avalanche diodes, and bulk effects in magnetized InSb were studied for methods and techniques of enhancing electromagnetic compatibility in applications of these devices. Gunn domain mode oscillators were studied for their harmonic outputs and spectral content. 15 GHz oscillators were found to have high harmonic content even to the tenth harmonic, and heat sinking of the diodes was undertaken to allow measurements over a range of duty cycles up to continuous operation. Negative conductivity GaAs devices with low NeL (electron density-sample length) product in appropriate circuits were studied and linear amplification was obtained up to an efficiency of a few percent; thus, low harmonic content is indicated. Helicon resonances in InSb at 77 degrees K were studied to evaluate the capabilities of electronically tunable filters and non-reciprocal devices. (Author)
