Abstract :
A first order theoretical model for the load detection mechanism of Gunn Oscillators has been developed that predicts the load variation induced shift in dc current-voltage characteristics, agreeing with the experimental results for dielectric samples. The possibility of accurate measurements of physical properties of materials has been demonstrated by the experimental technique and the theoretical model.
