  • Abstract
    An analysis is presented for the nonlinear behavior of power amplifiers utilizing negative-resistance diodes in a reflection circuit. The analysis applies to both stable and locked-oscillator modes of operation. Special emphasis is given to a simple model involving a cubic nonlinearity in the I-V relationship, and to the idealized LSA device in an amplification mode.
