Extremely-high frequency semiconductor oscillator using transit time negative resistance diode

摘要

An extremely-high frequency semiconductor oscillator which produces a large but substantially noise-free output power with minimized fluctuation of output power for changes in device temperature is realized by using, as its power producing component, a semiconductor transit time diode having a frequency-dependent negative resistance mounted in a cavity resonator of a wave guide means provided with a tuning short at one side of the waveguide means and being designed to perform carrier injection by a combination of tunnel and avalanche phenomena.
