Solid-State Travelling Wave Amplifiers Based on Multi-Stream Instability
Abstract
A method for the amplification of microwaves, based on the space- charge interaction of electron streaming sheets with different velocities in a semiconductor is obtained. A maximum of 18 dB gain in the 3-90 GHz band is predicted. Comparisons of MESFET, bipolar transistor, and state induction transistor Class C amplifiers show that silicon bipolar type is preferred. A completely new approach to the phenomenological quantal dissipation problem has been formulated and solved by Dirac's constrained dynamics. Boson operator, generalized to dissipative oscillator is also obtained.
