  • Abstract
    A tractable and more physically realistic dispersion relationship for the avalanche diode than previously available has been developed, This includes terms relating to the differences in hole and electron velocities and ionization coefficients. Analysis of this modified dispersion relation indicates new ranges for instabilities. Plots for selected cases are presented.
