INVESTIGATION OF NEW CONCEPTS AND LINEAR BEAM TECHNIQUES FOR MICROWAVE GENERATION.

Abstract

The emphasis of the investigation is on studies of active microwave effects in bulk semiconductors and on physical electronic phenomena. Specifically the study areas include the domain and Limited Space charge Accumulation (LSA) modes of Gunn effect, Impact Avalanche and transit Time (IMPATT) diodes, microwave semiconductor materials and fundamentals, field emission of electrons from semiconductors into vacuum, and applied laser effects. These studies have been undertaken to provide a better understanding of the physical mechanisms and processes involved and to obtain information of use in the design of improved microwave sources.
