  • Abstract
    Recent studies of the effects of ionizing radiation on microwave Gunn oscillators have neglected the effect of the ionizing radiation on the gas inside the microwave cavities used as part of the oscillator circuit. This paper shows both theoretically and experimentally that this effect cannot be neglected above dose rates of 108 Rad/ sec.
