Abstract :
The main characteristics of avalanche frequency multipliers are presented in order to show their capabilities when operated as stable millimeter wave sources. Performances and frequency dependance upon operating parameters such as temperature, input drive level, as well as biasing and tuning is given while experimental curves of additive phase noise contributed by these avalanche multipliers are discussed in some details.
