FINAL TECHNICAL REPORT.

Abstract

The report covers work done during the past grant period, which included studies of the performance of wide silicon p-i-n diodes and IMPATT diode oscillators, and the development of a microwave noise measuring system. Chapter 1 describes observations of unusual properties of wide p-i-n diodes with respect to transmission of microsecond and submicrosecond pulses and VHF sinusoidal signals. Champter 2 presents a theoretical analysis of the noise generated by a Read diode IMPATT oscillator in the presence of a small but not negligible signal current. The analysis points to a possible method of accounting for nise output in the neighborhood of the signal frequency of such an oscillator. Chapter 3 describes a microwave noise measuring system which is used to measure AM and FM noise spectra of oscillators. Measurement results are given. (Author)
