Double-velocity IMPATT diodes

A new IMPATT diode structure is proposed. The device incorporates a heterojunction between materials having different electric field saturated carrier velocities. Analysis shows that such a diode can have significantly higher dc-to-microwave-power conversion efficiencies than conventional Read IMPAT...

Zusammenfassung:A new IMPATT diode structure is proposed. The device incorporates a heterojunction between materials having different electric field saturated carrier velocities. Analysis shows that such a diode can have significantly higher dc-to-microwave-power conversion efficiencies than conventional Read IMPATT diodes.
