Advanced Concepts of Microwave Generation and Control in Solids.

Abstract

The report deals with the progress made during the sixth quarterly period of a solid state microwave oscillator and amplifier research and development program. Included are the results of studies of transferred electron and avalanche diodes and solid state materials. Discussed first are LSA diodes and circuits, Gunn effect amplifiers and oscillators, a PCM Gunn oscillator, and GaAs materials studies. Next discussed are IMPATT and TRAPATT diode research results. A discussion on the Relaxing Avalanche Mode and its relation to other avalanche diode modes is also presented. Also reported are studies of Baritt diodes for high frequency CW operation, and for low frequency pulsed operation. The report concludes with a discussion of the progress made on ion implantation, on vacuum epitaxial growth in silicon and on ionization rates in GaAs. (Author)
