Abstract :
Analytical relationships are derived for the ratio of the intrinsic AM to FM noise, and for the intrinsic AM noise of IMPATT diode oscillators. The theory is confirmed experimentally for a silicon n+-p diode and an n-gallium-arsenide Schottky barrier diode operating at low and intermediate signal levels.
