Abstract :
The extremely broad-band negative resistance properties of a punch-through silicon avalanche diode enables efficient operation to be extended to small transit angles. Operation over approximately three octaves is effected by the transit-time mode and a low-frequency mode characterized by the presence of higher frequency idler components.
