Title :
2000-W-GHz complementary TRAPATT diodes
Author_Institution :
RCA Laboratories, Princeton, NJ, USA
Abstract :
This paper will present recent experimental results on series-operated complementary diodes in the 2-GHz frequency range. Peak power output of 1.2 kW at 1.9 GHz with 24% efficiency from five series-connected diodes has been obtained. The power-frequency product for TRAPATT devices has surpassed 2000 W-GHz. Experiments have been performed with 0.5 to 1 ps pulses at a repetition rate up to 1 kHz.
